AI can't do much with my job as of yet (power plant engineer). I use it sometimes to take pictures of things like specialty valves. The pics are quickly identified and can make sourcing replacements/repair/rebuild shops a bit faster. I use it to help newer guys study for their upcoming license tests too.
Identifying types of valves sounds like a genuinely useful use of AI. Very cool.
I typically know what type of valve it is. The issue is if its from 30+ years ago, finding a suitable replacement. Ive asked it metric or imperial for fasteners based on thread and its been good at that too. I'm a rare breed though in the sense I use it. The majority of this trade is filled with 50+ year olds who have never heard of using AI for anything outside of dystopian science fiction.
