Here’s some context for the question. When image generating AIs became available, I tried them out and found that the results were often quite uncanny or even straight up horrible. I ended up seeing my fair share of twisted fingers, scary faces and mutated abominations of all kinds.
Some of those pictures made me think that since the AI really loves to create horror movie material, why not take advantage of this property. I started asking it to make all sorts of nightmare monsters that could have escaped from movies such as The Thing. Oh boy, did it work! I think I’ve found the ideal way to use an image generating AI. Obviously, it can do other stuff too, but with this particular category, the results are perfect nearly every time. Making other types of images usually requires some creative promptcrafting, editing, time and effort. When you ask for a “mutated abomination from Hell”, it’s pretty much guaranteed to work perfectly every time.
What about LLMs though? Have you noticed that LLMs like chatGPT tend to gravitate towards a specific style or genre? Is it longwinded business books with loads of unnecessary repetition or is it pointless self help books that struggle to squeeze even a single good idea in a hundred pages? Is it something even worse? What would be the ideal use for LLMs? What’s the sort of thing where LLMs perform exceptionally well?
Probably CAD work. AI could probably learn from existing CAD files already freely available. Then it could replicate them using any number of free cad systems such as freeCAD. Then it could expand into complex cad like wiring, circuit board generating etc. Maybe it could tackle BIM to make house plans. Or it could not only generate parts and assemblies, but also perform structural FEA. Maybe even it could expand to all sorts of computational analysis and even begin by first analyzing what type of analysis would be needed…a complete engineering AI replacement for engineers… My job is going bye bye probably.
If you open a file like that in a text editor (such as notepad++), do you see a a messy hex porridge or does it have structure an LLM might be able to understand?
All cad files have a defined structure which could be interpreted. Unfortunately many cad files are proprietary and decoding them externally to the closed-source programs that create them is a massive undertaking that would get you sued
It’s probably not necessary for it to be human readable.
