same here. AI doing machine design? a company demo’d just AI drawing creation for us a while ago, and it could barely do that. how the fuck is an LLM going to fit together a few hundred custom made parts in a way that can be assembled, maintained, function properly, be manufactured without excessive cost, etc
I have yet to see AI perform a task effectively once you look deeper than the surface.
AI lowers the barrier to entry for people to do things. that doesn’t mean it’s going to do them better than professionals.
Yes! AI has been used to help with minimizing circuit designs and layouts for decades. It weirdly upsets me that AI has become synonymous with specifically LLMs, when the reality is that there are many different types of AI that has been an active field for years. Idk, maybe I’m just old and grumpy because I did my master’s thesis on AI before the rise of LLMs and a lot of modern ML implementations.
Yeah, I am not here to argue with “sometimes good enough is good enough.” Like…if you’ve got a raspberry pi making your garden spray water to the beat of “flight of the bumblebee” or some shit, and an LLM helped you do that without knowing anything about code…that’s cool I guess. But when people actually need stuff to work and are willing to pay for it, I just don’t see this tool ever getting to that level.
