    I said I'd accept limited input. That comes with the caveat that I'd vet everything the AI selected. In this capacity the AI would act as an enhanced search engine of sorts. For what it's worth I was very…

    DAB, I think that for this particular domain, it is actually a possible fit. The main drivers for engineering are domain knowledge, math and experience based on the past. And no feelings. I think that…

    The more bright people involved the greater chance of success. I'm concerned about the company that hires one the one halogen guy and three 100W bulb guys and lays two off the bulbs guys because of budget constraints.

    Within well defined areas that is possible, however, there will always be an uncertainty within the solution space.

    The domains I used to work in were very exacting, so the level of uncertainty that results from AI solutions was not acceptable.

    In other domains, I agree there are possible AI solutions where the uncertainty is acceptable.

    You just have to be very careful.

    I would never put an AI solution in any domain where human safety is a requirement.

    True, but I am more willing to tolerate "human" error than rely on an AI solution where I cannot control the training data.

    Agreed, but you will still have to verify the solution before you can safely implement it.

    My profile pic is of a Boston I had named Lexx - he had a super big personality, a very funny dog. I can see the similarity in the picture of Stitch.

    I've used chatgpt to ask for components with certain properties. It's responses have been far from ideal, but still useful.

    Thanks.  I am happy to know the name behind the pic.  Lexx is such a great name.
