Just for fun, I asked CHATgpt to design an open frame, two seat ducted jet VTOL aircraft, similar to the Garret STAMP:



It asked good questions to refine the idea. I also asked it to generate a 3 view, plus 1/35 scale STL files for printing in my resin printer. It asked if I wanted it as a single part, for resin or filament printing, print area - all the right questions.

I ran out of allocated time for it to finish today, but this is what it came up with. Note that it has yet to correct the engine style, position and add STAMP like ducts. It will also have to change the controls, but so far, it's close to what I asked. I'll get the design refined over the next two days:



It also screwed up the 3-vew and didn't provide a top view:



I also let it come up with names that included CHATgpt. The post title was the one I liked the best:

Compact Hovering Air Transport, Gas Propelled Testbed
Experimental Unit - 1962


CHATgpt might be useful for generating designs or parts for models. Let's see; CHATgpt products are often gold plated bull feces.

It's cool but AI is horribly inefficient in terms of power and water consumption. It's already a problem and it's getting worse everyday. It's only a matter of time before communities start getting hit with brownouts because the "techbros" server farms will take priority. If anybody wondered why the techbros backed iDJT, it's because they're going to benefit from the coming gutting of regulations that effect building the new monstrously large server farms required. Anything they claim is causing "unnecessary delays". Environmental impact statements? Out the window. Local and state permitting requirements? Superseded under some sort of national security BS. Laws and current agreements covering water rights? Who needs them. The equitable distribution of generated electricity? Who needs that, the  market will set prices. Can't pay the jacked up rates? Tough sh!t. It's all coming and at an exponential rate. 
I personally do not and will not use "AI" in any way, shape or form. Of course there is also the blatant theft of IP and the very poorly paid gigworkers  "training" the systems working a mindnumbing job. How do you think the "AI" can tell the difference between a koala and a grizzly bear? Because some poor sap had to sit in front of a monitor as fetch routines pulled in tens of thousands images that needed to be checked to determine if they were correctly identified and tagged.

Hmmm, I'm not seeing the "VTOL" ducts on that ... & the rear view doesn't quite mesh with the off-kilter engined fore & side views.  :unsure:

CHATgpt is extremely confident in the validity of its results, while producing crap, which is not surprising. I don't think this will work out as planned,.
