- rvnx 2y agoI don't know, if you actually design in some way and deliver the solution for the structure of the bridge, aren't you THE structural engineer for that project ? Credentials don't define capability, execution does.
- bluefirebrand 2y ago> Credentials don't define capability, execution does. All the same, if my city starts to hire un-credentialed "engineers" to vibe-design bridges, I'm not going to drive on them
- toofy 2y agoagain, it doesn’t make me a structural engineer—it’s the outcome of hiring someone else to do it. it really isn’t complicated. i’m not suddenly somehow a structural engineer. even worse, i would have no way to know when its full of dangerous hallucinations.
- _heimdall 2y agoThis argument runs squarely into the problems of whether credentials or outcomes are what's important, and whether the LLM is considered a tool or the one actually responsible doing the work.
- toofy 2y agoit’s not that deep. *if* it were a structurally sound bridge, it means i outsourced it. it’s that simple. it doesn’t magically make me a structural engineer, it means it was designed elsewhere. if i hire someone to paint a picture it doesn’t magically somehow make me an artist.
