If efficiency is increased then it will take less time to do the same amount of work. When this happens companies tend to choose to have a smaller workforce, or they expand the scope of their work (offer more products and services). While AI will likely not make many ME jobs obsolete it is making some people's livelihoods obsolete and I worry for these people. I would like to see a future where laws are in place such that if a company introduces an increased efficiency then employees see increases in compensation and employees have protections against being laid off. Maybe if AI allows us to get 40 hours of work done in 30 then we should only work 30 hours? I need to develop my thoughts more on this topic but these are just a few of my initial thoughts on this complex issue.
All welfare existing today has been created by processes being more efficient, requiring less labor, freeing people up to do something else. That is the true source of economic growth. If you require companies to not yield the benefit of efficiency-increasing measures, then they won't get these efficiency increasing measures. Why would I pay for a highly valuable AI tool, if I actually cannot save money?
We will tell the AI we're engineers 😁 Many of our professors in our university if you ask them a question their answer will be you're an engineer, find it yourself.
@@srmacaster9991 Yeah. You can't be an engineer without acknowledging the fact that YOU need to be correct about the slightest of errors. Or at least, a proper one.
@@srmacaster9991 a qualified engineer that is, you can in fact be an engineer without graduating college, however, it will be difficult to secure the higher paying positions as employers look at qualifications first rather than on-the-job experience. I suppose that is why most, for example, electrical inspectors know all the theory but some can only critique or examine but not actually do all the wiring necessary on a house outside of schematics
Ansys Discovery is Low Fidelity tool Fast but partially accurate For better results we have to do iterative solution using Lineriaized Partial Differntial Equation Models
Chat gpt is good for igniting ideas when designing. It will almost never straight up give you what you want right off the bat tho. Gotta coax it and keep drilling it
Export the MatLab, Azure, Chat GPT, Revit, Plant 3D, Civil 3D, Inventor, ENGI file of the Building or Refinery to Excel, prepare Budget 1 and export it to COBRA. Prepare Budget 2 and export it to Microsoft Project. Solve the problems of Overallocated Resources, Planning Problems, prepare the Budget 3 with which the construction of the Building or the Refinery is going to be quoted.
Problem is MOST mech E jobs aren't like the jobs you do. The overwelmingly vast majority of jobs are CAD, HVAC and looking at design diagrams for approval. Very little design work. For those jobs, AI will replace those mechE jobs. Ultimately, ask yourself MechE is physics, physics is predictable. Therefore, physics in an AI will replace quite a lot of current day mechE job functions.
Very interesting. I am career changer (Mechanical designer -> software dev). I think not possible yet to replace Mechanical engineers. First of all - AI won't be free. Maybe for text generators are free (gpt3.5), but in mechanical industry you need much more power. But for CAD purposes will be extremaly expensive. In so many companies still is cheaper to buy more steel instead of FEM methods (Ansys isn't cheap). As a mechanical engineer you need knowledge from various fields. I think programmers will be replaced faster than engineers. AI can make your work more efficient - look how much time you spend on drawings. Amazing channel.
damn error of your life, fk software dev worst field lol, you never become an expert in your field and will get replaced by AI, also the field is saturated by clown with no degree
AI is just a program, that finds "optimal" solution to a given problem, but all good engineering today is mostly made of problem formalization, that AI maybe someday could do, being a problem solver that solves a problem of formalizing the problem and then creating implementation to the problem - in software engineering it's called inductive programming and even if I'm a programmer myself, I find automation of programming much nicer than writing all the same things in implementation phase. If the time of programming would end, I would go somewhere else. Stop being afraid, at the end you can just go rebellious against the system, it always was like that. There are new opportunities right now, like knowledge extraction from LLM's, Interpretable AI (that everyone confuses with explainable AI) etc. Science wasn't always about making mundane tasks, your old skills would be used elsewhere, some you would need to gain, some you would forget about - that's that. At this stage someone would say - that's too hard to understand these new "things", but like it was with programming, the science community would eventually find a solution to this problem. I know that this can be a mental problem not having a job (or physical when you live in US/Canada where no one cares about you when you don't have a job), but at least for me, you're not live your life to "work". Work to live your life not for feeling better about yourself against other people. AI is a scary word, but really, popularization of PC's changed how we work much more than this "AI" magic would.
Mechanical and Civil sectors were and will always be the only 2 sectors where AI will at the highest be only an assistant which will amplify the work of a mechanical and civil engineer. This was, is and will be because of the following 3 reasons: 1) These 2 sectors' 90% jobs involve 100% risk to even human lives leave apart animals' and plants'. 2) These 2 sectors will make AI's infrastructure. 3) The world economy is based upon and decided by the ongoing developments based on the innovation, research and creativity of these 2 sectors which can never be achieved by even any combination of top AIs close to a human's brain ever.
With engineering every new design is a breakthrough meaning they need the creativity to do something that was never done before. AI needs models and parameters, how will it advance beyond what it already there? "AI design the 2025 Toyota" it might eventually be able to after 1000s of iterations make small improvements based on viewing the 2024 Toyota but how can it keep improving if its improving on its own design?
human input is a nessicarry process you can increce the "heat" of an ai so it will make less predictable changes and you tell it if its getting hotter or colder eventually you will get a result that is very different and closer to what you want
if simulations already take ages to find solutions, then training an AI on these simulations will take astronimical time to be efficient, so i would say we are safe for now
%100 agree with you.. And the funniest thing about it is after asking everything to AI, those people continue to call themselves "mechanical engineer"? Most of the people think that after graduated they become mechanical engineer.. it is like getting your driving licence.. After you get it you are not a driver.. you are just allowed to move the car... Being a driver in another topic.. after you become a driver (after having enough experience) it does not mean you can drive at F1 or Nascar... Being an engineer is like that.. sorry but if you (new generation) are dreaming about being an engineer without doing anything or following up easy ways you will never be an engineer.. you will only fool your boss for some time and you will fool yourself in your all life...
I think it will be a tool for mechanical engineers. It would be a mistake for companies to rely entirely on AI, their product would be ruined. We'll see if people have to learn that the hard way! I think it will be a shortcut for many of the more tedious and mundane parts of ME
Technological innovation is a blanket good. For-profit, greedy systems are a blanket bad. All the excitement comes from the technology. All the fear comes from the absurd social system(s) we live in. Maybe to each according to their need was a good idea after all.
AGI will replace Engineers. If AI could think just like a human, which it's expected to be by 2026, then what's stopping the AI from being an autonomous agent who could think and work on things itself. People say what they way and the AI does all the heavy lifting. Even if people have to supervise the AI, it'll only take a year or two for the AI to be good enough to not need as many engineers supervising it.
Hi brother can 25 old who is just getting GED go for mechanical engineering given that i never been to physics class but i am confident in math i started from pre algebra and Algebra 1 now i that i believe i mastered this i am on my way to Algebra 2,Precal and Calc but am worried about the physics as 8 jever been to physics class b4 can your notes in mechanical engineering suffice me if i only focus on the physics of mechanical engineering pls answer
@@moderncombat8165 study what ? That's what am looking for to b4 I get started with mechanical engineering I was dropout so excuse my ignorance 🤷♂️ lol
@@verygoodboy5724 in college you go over physics, chemistry and math before moving onto mechanical engineering classes. Calculus based physics is what I was taught, so it would be useful for you to get up to a calculus level first.
I'm a mechanical engineer and I fully support the advancement of AI. Having a personal AI that I train myself will be extremely useful for me. Future job interviews could possibly be just a test to see what your AI can do. So the competition will be focused on your AI's abilities and how well you can communicate and interact with it.
It obviously will - the answer is always yes. The open question is WHEN - maybe in a couple of years, maybe in a decade or two. But AI has to hit a HARD limit - or the growth of computing capacity makes hit inevitable.
I don't think so, because I believe AI will be implemented as an Engineer's virtual assistance for more creativity and understanding of complicated tasks. In the past I gave ChatGPT a current math exam of my high school and it only had 21% correct lol. And I tried all ways I could think off to help ChatGPT but in nearly every case, it was wrong. And if it will replace us (maybe in many decades), we can get math and physics teachers 🤣
This is because ChatGPT is an LLM and it's trained heavily to understand language. That's the basic. Anyways, I think there is a new ai tool, you just upload files or/and ask prompts and it will answer your physics questions.
Hello, I viewed your video, and I am looking for an engineer to develop a working prototype project into a product for manufacturing. Would you be interested? Please reply to this comment.
