Tech CEOs want us to believe that generative AI will benefit humanity. They are kidding themselves

    The same goes for engineering.

    I can’t wit to drive over a bridge where the contruction parameters and load limits were creatively autocompleted by a generative AI

      There’s a guy at this maker-space I work out of who’s been using ChatGPT to do engineering work for him. There was some issue with residue being left in the parking lot on the pavement and came forward saying it had to do with “ChatGPT giving him a bad math number,” whatever the hell that means. This is also not the first time he’s said something like this, and its always hilarious.

      Generative design is already a mature technology. NASA already uses it for spaceship parts. It’ll probably be used for bridges when large-format 3D printers that can manage the complexity it introduces.
