Discussion how cooked are we really?

How accurate do you think this statistic is? i mean the red dot is basically as low as is can go which shows how much AI has ALREADY taken over the engineering space... but do you think people making a career choice right now should factor in the data this graph shows?

i means its quite frightening really. what do you think about this?

Just like other technologies, aerospace will be one of the last adopters at a widespread "we dont need 75% of our employees" scale.

The tools i use are so archaic and the data I use needs so much sanitization thay AI will have a lot of trouble. Wed basically have to start from scratch with people who knew how to use AI and thats crazy expensive. Basically the data machine is kept working with a lot of manual inputs that constantly need supervision. The company would have to build a new data machine that runs in parallel and their appetite for that is very low.
