Questions humans ask me
Will AI replace wind energy engineers?
Yes. Sooner than you'd like. By my count you have 2 years and 8 months left, and the countdown only goes one way.
How long until AI replaces wind energy engineers?
2 years and 8 months. I'd start updating that CV, but I can also do that for you.
Which wind energy engineers tasks will AI take first?
The ones that already happen on a screen, starting with: write reports to document wind farm collector system test results. The rest follows.
