Misspelling like the rest of my posts in this forum but i like the idea
I’m no better in swedish either 
Too funny Rick Beato makes it on the Rhino list!

And now Wings of Pegasus, highlighting creative fraud committed on multiple levels by this fake person. I’d like to think that this level of fraud and manipulation could never sneak through to the machines we make and rely on. Imagine Boeing subbing out design to a fake engineer, just prompting AI.
I like she’s holding a Marshall amp head like kids would be that near to a true Marshall.
I see these adds on youtube where an old man turns in Arnold after a month of tai chi. At least the fine print says it’s ai generated for entertainment purposes only.
This is computing in general we want more for less, too bad the ai fraud is getting rampant.

Sadly this is a global society trend… people prefer to purchase cheap copies from big internet vendors of unbranded suppliers rather than well crafted stuff from the company down the street. So I guess we can not expect our clients to be any different since everything is scaleable through society since it only consists of individuals.
The big guys are just bigger small guys, so if small guys are happy with “good enough rip-offs” then so are the big guys. Same guys different wrapping.
The more we learn, the less we know.
See, for example, the European furniture, lighting, consumer goods, and fashion industries, declining since decades - a relentless race to the bottom, fuelled by Amazon, Temu, and other online platforms, but also fuelled by fewer and fewer consumers that recognise and cherish quality, and understand that quality comes at a price. Last time I was in the Shanghai region in 2019, I visited factories where large numbers of CAD operators reverse engineer and adapt tier-one and tier-two brand products at an out-of-this-world speed.
I used Claude to code an arduino-based motion-control system and the difference between Claude and GPT was night & day. Claude generated much cleaner code and seemed to understand what I wanted and even added extra things in (like menu items etc) without being asked.
anyone in the workplace who is not near to retirement age should be at least emmersing themselves into learning some AI tools, whether you like it or not, its here right now and will only get better.
If I was in my 30s or 40s I’d be neck deep in utilising AI in my future workflows
Working in the film industry designing sets etc…?
I’m sure you have seen this already: What is Seedance? The Chinese AI app sending Hollywood into a panic
As someone who has experienced the loss of a job skill I really enjoyed and watch hundreds loose their jobs because of the introduction of CAD back in the mid 1990’s, the only thing I can add is that you do whatever it takes to embrace the new technology and become an expert in the field if you want to continue working in your chosen career.
I followed that path. It was painful and it was hard to watch coworkers getting laid off or worse, marginalized. I spent a lot of my time at home and work studying and practicing the new technology in order to be relevant to my managers.
Pretty difficult at best but it kept me employed until I was comfortable with the change.
This. Pretty much my experience too.
In one hit, no, that isn’t a realistic use case…at least for now. But break it down and AI is already, or could soon be, useful at each stage.
- Concepts - Yep
- Toolpathing - Yep
- Drafting - Let’s hope so.
- Marketing - Yep
Not sure any of these would dramatically cut-down production time, but will probably lead to a better outcome.
Concepts? No, because, to my knowledge, AI cannot read the industrial designer’s mind and on top incorporate the company’s and supplier’s constraints, and then question and tweak them (for example, replacing conventional seat foam with something novel for the next generation business class aircraft seat).
Tooling? Not by a wide margin, see a simple injection molding tool modification below.
Drafting? Which industrial designers do need to do drafting these days?
Marketing? Not the industrial designer’s job.
Yes it can. You literally tell it what you want and you iterate until you have something to work with and then you can get into the next iteration of the design spiral.
Not tooling, toolpathing, the process if programming the milling machines to make each of those parts after they’ve been designed. From what I’ve seen, there are already AI “helpers” in this field.
Not techinically an industrial designer, but I design and engineer things and need to do drafting all the time.
At some point you need to convince the people paying the bills that what you’re designing is going to look good. AI rendering is already pretty good, as we’ve seen on this forum.
AI is useless
BTC will go to 0
Smartphones are unnecessary no one needs a pc in his pocket
Social networks are a fever just kids use them
The internet is just a temporary phenomenon It’ll pass
Do you notice a pattern? @Lagom
I dont get it. Buildings / Consumer Products are physical things. It requires a designers intention. The production of objects requires documentation. CAD is communication of the design intention to make sure it can be physically realized. Which thing are we talking about replacing?
