I wonder what kind of engineering problems you’ve talked with ChatGPT. Because its limited understanding of spatial problems, I found it hard to use it for mechanical engineering. How did you do it?

I wrote another response earlier, but found myself ranting ;)

ChatGPT is currently best at things programmers would think about. You’re correct about spatial reasoning. But try stuff like this:

“Write a python program that calculates the static forces on a cantilevered ledge 15 feet long, with a support beam”

Haha it took the longest I’ve ever seen. You may have a point. It’s really good at writing code though.

Caution. I tried my example with matlab instead of python, and I think I may have set a server rack on fire ;)
