"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Which blades are you interested in? Fan or turbine? I ask because they have different futures.
Are you interested in switching careers?
I am interested in how engineering workflows could change given AI can accelerate software development and AI could possibly speed up the stage by stage process. There are some talks in civil engineering on AI assisted MEP drawings. And I think it makes sense in civil engineering generally, given that currently software is so clunky that many BIM specialists are needed. So I was wondering if a software for engineering process might be general enough for multiple domains.
We arent even using drawings anymore. The programs i support are all 3d model based definition. We essentially send the 3d models we design with to manufactures to produce.
Theres some additional information needed like defining datums and tolerances, but 2d drawings are a thing of the past
Hm, I suppose built environment is quite different from manufactured products. Thanks!
