Use of AI for RoadTest/Project applications

iker46

Hi, 

I have never used it but I was wondering if it is possible to use AI as a help to write the applications for RoadTests or Projects. Is it forbidden? If not, do you think is ok to use it?

    There was a whole document design paradigm around only needing to retype one page when a serious error had to be corrected. Retyping a whole document was a major gaffe. The typing  pool had names for people who insisted on numerous major rewrites.

    We had one secretary who could fix all spelling mistakes, all grammar mistakes and sentence structure all while typing 60 wpm. It was like having an AI, except it wasn't artificial.

    How many "this page intentionally left blank" insertions can you get away with ? Slight smile

    I've experienced control programmers who can do similar but whilst also holding a conversation with you about the functionality required for an upcoming function yet to be written.

    I think the same. I don't have problems with a Roadtest application written by AI. For example, if that is for a power supply, it creates a more or less standard plan for a power supply - test load, noise, etc. I tried that using ChatGPT 3.5. Coming up with some unique ideas will probably never happen if that was not part of the learning data.

    Executing the plan is a different story. If the applicant has no idea about electronics, it will come up sooner or later. Of course, AI could be used for help too, why not. If the end result is, that the applicant learned about electronics using the roadtested product and AI, why not.

    However, I would hate using AI just to generate content without any meaning. Paragraphs of bloat just to make the article longer etc. Internet is full of it even with "hand-made" stuff, especially videos. 20-60 minute videos saying just one minute of interesting information is a waste of time (but good revenue generator, apparently).

    What is unique is the creativity of the plan, how it is executed, applying real-life experience, solving a real problem.

    I guess we are almost in a state that we could stop using the web. Our daily feed of whatever we want to read, hear and see could be generated using AI. But clever people I know seem to be looking for the opposite. Getting information from someone knowledgeable and trustworthy in the field, with some personal spice added.

    I think some words in your post itself gives the answer...…never!
