What you're missing is all the misinformation here. The general suggestion here for most every repair is to reflow the solder on the header pins, which is rarely needed and rarely works. Too many titles from too many manufacturers (860 currently on IPDB and growing) over almost 100 years of games for AI to work.

Here's a great example of why AI can't be used on something as complicated as pinball repair. Ripped from today's headlines:

'A lawyer used ChatGPT and now has to answer for its ‘bogus’ citations / A filing in a case against Colombian airline Avianca cited six cases that don’t exist, but a lawyer working for the plaintiff told the court ChatGPT said they were real.'

'ChatGPT said they were real.' Hilarious.

That's not saying a lot. Besides repair, how else do you see it being used? Writing rules for games? Designing games? Art? Personally, I like games featuring specific designers, programmers and artists. Guys like Steve Ritchie, Pat Lawlor, Lyman Sheets and Keith Johnson. Steve is the king of flow, Pat's style keeps you coming back for more, Lyman's rules are as close to perfection as you can get, Keith is the master of deep rules. You okay losing all that? Only thing that matters to you is a fun end result?

I did see a fantastic use for AI recently. The Impossible Statue, designed by AI. Best unintentional pinball trophy ever.
