First thing that I thought off when LLMs came out - literally been in my head for 2 years.
A lot of price gouging is based on you not knowing the details or the process. With LLMs you can know both.
For most anything from kitchen renovations to A/C installation to Car servicing - you can now get an exacat idea on details and process. And you can negotiate on both.
You can also know how much "work" contractors have at this time which gives you more leverage.
For anything above $1000 in spend, learn about it from your LLM first. My usual questions:
1. What are all the steps involved? Break the steps down by cost.
2. What is the demand for this service in my area around this time of the year?
3. using the above details, how can I negotiate a lower price or find a place which will have this at a discount ?
