Summary · Install kitchen cabinets in a 1970s home with uneven walls, making necessary on-site adjustments for proper fit and alignment.

AI verdict · poor

This is pure physical skilled labor requiring hands-on carpentry, precise measurements with laser levels, shimming, scribing, and material cutting. AI cannot perform physical installation, detect wall irregularities through touch and visual inspection, or make real-time adjustments with tools. The task requires spatial reasoning in a physical environment that AI cannot access.
