Would you currently trust a bridge designed by a civil engineer using AI for all of their calculations ?

Not a great comparison. I'd agree with you if it was straight up vibe coding.

But co-creating (which is what I do) I create plan, then step through it with Claude. Claude creates a small part of what I want, I review, tweak or ask Claude why it took that approach if its different.

I know the subject matter of what it is creating, so in this sense it is safe, as long as I am reviewing everything.

It gets dangerous if you just let it create something without any interaction or understanding of what is being created.

Of course. I've seen how sloppy and lazy humans are, and I already use the bridge, and if the safety truly came down to the output of single person, then the risk is already significant.

I must say, I got a chuckle at "using AI to do their calculations". Oh no, my agent is going to write a python script to do basic maths, and check their work against a series of automated tests, the sky is falling!

Bridges are not typically designed by the sloppy and lazy humans, but whatever
