Hi,
In theory you can tell the AI exactly what you want and it will return a full
design. In theory. In Practice what you really do is either give the AI
something to start with and modify or do some kind of iterative AI stuff like
make this, modify it, modify it some more, etc.
While I am sure that AI will do some loopy things I feel that AI isn't anywhere
near ready to start taking over Design. Would YOU fly on an Aircraft or Rocket
that was WHOLLY designed by an AI? If the answer to that question is yes then
I shall keep an eye out for your Funeral Notice.
We already know that AI tells outright Lies. We already know that AI will sumarise
great swathes of other peoples work and then either give an answer with so many
caveats that the summary is useless or it will be skewed towards how many sources
it has found. If ONE is correct AI will overrule it with the multiple wrong ones.
People say that AI is "getting better". What it is really doing is learning how to be
more subtle so it can still Lie to us and tell us what we want to hear but in a manner
that is a lot harder to detect. Nobody has made their fortune on the Stock Market
yet using AI. Many have tried and all are now Broke.
In my experience of using AI and fusion so far, I have been limited to Automated
Modelling. The Designs that fusion returns so far are typically unusable or so
complex that the only way to fabricate them is by Laser Sintering 3D Printing, which
is expensive and I don't have access to. Also most of the AI designs are just plain
UGLY (as in not aesthetically pleasing to the eye).
I have not yet tried to use the AI to automagically create code for CNC machining
yet but apparently it does ok. I have used AI to create my Engineering Drawings.
That was also ok but I still had a lot of work to make them fully compliant and
actually usable on the shop floor.
I have heard a few rumours about using AI to magically create some masterpiece
with associated YouTube videos. They are there but what you don't see is what is
not shown on camera or edited out.
I will keep playing until I get comfortable with it. Will I trust my Life with it? No. I
think we may be a few Decades away from that scenario just at the moment.
Cheers
Andrew
