human hallucinations, 31 Jan 2025Cannot be soon enough for AI to improve upon human industrial design errors. The AI parameter... moreOr make it worse: if you don't specify sufficient minimum headroom a human might look at the problem and think "we'd better not make it too low though". A machine will just consider anything that meets the specified constraints, even by a mm, as fine. So unless you make it a requirement neither human nor software will be constrained by it, but unlike the software the human *might* think beyond what is specified (but then might be overruled by the marketing people anyway).

The thing you have to understand is that these machine learning tools (not AI as understood by researchers, just called that by marketing departments) have no understanding whatsoever of what they do. It doesn't know whether it's designing a car or rehashing a recipe for a cake, or that such things exist or that its output has any meaning at all. It's just a mathematical optimisation within a set of rules and constraints, guided by whatever rules it has been programmed with or "learned" from other examples it was given - which means it's quite likely to reproduce what you consider to be the worst mistakes of the past if that was what it was trained on.

Cannot be soon enough for AI to improve upon human industrial design errors. The AI parameters would be properly adjusted to comfortably seat two full-sized extra-tall adults in the second row. And this is without slouching or head-banging.
