New to the forum, from Las Vegas.
Wondering what non-computer engineers are thinking of using AI for.
One thing crossed my mind was setting up a menu with python to do common tasks quickly.
Welcome to the forum, Sam!
I think AI has made working with computers much easier for people who are not computer science professionals. For example, AI can help you write Python code, validate and debug it, execute it, and even carry out tasks for you. Your idea of creating a Python menu to automate common tasks is a great example!
In the past, you would often need to be a programmer or developer to build tools like these. Nowadays, AI can help you create them even if you have little or no programming experience.
Of course, for more complex tasks, understanding the underlying mechanisms is still important so you can inspect the code, identify potential issues, and verify the results. However, for many everyday tasks, there are already AI tools that make things much easier.
Overall, AI has lowered the barrier to using computers more effectively, allowing professionals from different backgrounds to automate repetitive work, improve their efficiency, and accomplish things that previously required specialized technical skills.
Hi Gent.spah,
I was thinking there might be some AI tools already. Have you come across any specific to chemical materials? I found from the course Build w/ Andrew there are also ways to make your own. Thanks for your input!
Hi,
I haven’t specifically searched for AI applications tailored to chemical materials, but I imagine there are quite a few available already. I’d suggest starting with a Google search or asking an LLM to identify tools relevant to your specific needs. You could also explore building your own application, as you mentioned from Andrew’s course.
