I have a boss who tells us weekly that everything we do should start with AI. Researching? Ask ChatGPT first. Writing an email or a document? Get ChatGPT to do it.
They send me documents they “put together” that are clearly ChatGPT generated, with no shame. They tell us that if we aren’t doing these things, our careers will be dead. And their boss is bought in to AI just as much, and so on.
I feel like I am living in a nightmare.
Identifying types of valves sounds like a genuinely useful use of AI. Very cool.
I typically know what type of valve it is. The issue is if its from 30+ years ago, finding a suitable replacement. Ive asked it metric or imperial for fasteners based on thread and its been good at that too. I’m a rare breed though in the sense I use it. The majority of this trade is filled with 50+ year olds who have never heard of using AI for anything outside of dystopian science fiction.
