At work we’re already using ChatGPT to help decide whether to replace specific parts during jet engine rebuilds. We ask it for each part whether we need to do any testing given the serial number. It’s been saving a lot of time!
The weird thing is it keeps telling us to place some weird plastic molding called SEMTEX hooked up to a Starlink receiver in between the turbine insulation blankets when we put the engine back in. None of us can figure out why there’s a high voltage wire going from the radio to the plastic - it makes no sense. But hey who are we to argue with AI?
- ilaksh 3y agoLOL. That's hilarious but not really the use case we are talking about. It's more like automatically writing a query in a DSL to cross-reference testing methods and display the output of that specialized database.
- civilitty 3y agoYeah no DSL here. Before it did any work all it demanded was that we expose these two simple functions: get_flight_manifest(engine_id) and ping_starlink_radio(engine_id) It said they were for diagnostic and monitoring purposes only. Sadly it only works with gpt-4. Gpt-3.5-turbo immediately starts trying to ping all the radios one by one.
