I didn’t think they should use A.I. yet at all. I don’t think the shitty version of machine learning of today is ready for engineering giant explosive things. As someone else pointed out, document management for regulatory filings and stuff is (hopefully) the use case. I don’t care if it’s used in that way.
Basically, I think today’s “A.I.” should be treated as alpha software. It has a ton of potential but there is a lot left to do, especially on things involving human or even critter life like rocket science, self-driving cars, or military applications where “edge cases” are life or death situations. (I don’t think it should be used for military applications until it’s really fucking mature tech but it’s already apparently being used for that so the cat’s out the bag there.)
I do not think that even Elon has enough power at SpaceX to force them to design next-generation rockets using Large Language Models. Engineers know better than that. Their next rocket wouldn’t even make it off the pad.

I’ve known too many idiots with PE licenses to share your optimism.
