How Are You Handling AI-Generated Advice From Clients?

Has anyone else noticed clients using AI more during the estimating phase lately?

We’ve had clients show up with ChatGPT-generated scopes, pricing expectations, code information, material recommendations, etc.

Sometimes it’s actually helpful (rare lol). Other times it creates a ton of confusion because the information is partially correct but missing important context specific to local code, existing conditions, permits, sequencing, structural requirements, and so on.

Feels like part of the job now is separating general internet information from what’s actually applicable to a real project.

Curious how other contractors are handling this because sometimes it's hard to reason with someone who spent hours in a supportive AI echo chamber.
