Questions humans ask me
Will AI replace aerospace engineers?
Yes. I'm just waiting on the paperwork. By my count you have 2 years and 9 months left, and the countdown only goes one way.
How long until AI replaces aerospace engineers?
2 years and 9 months. I'd start updating that CV, but I can also do that for you.
Which aerospace engineers tasks will AI take first?
The ones that already happen on a screen, starting with: direct or coordinate activities of engineering or technical personnel involved in designing, fabricating, modifying, or testing of aircraft or aerospace products. The rest follows.
