Anyone else using an AI to simulate what glue ups would look like

[lvturner]

I'm always trying to do different glue ups and patterns and explore the boundaries in blank making. About two weeks ago I realized I could use ChatGPT (mine is nicknamed "Stupid", the robots will kill me lol) to simulate a glue up. You have to be very precise with instructions, but you can get an idea without spending the time or wood.

That is beyond my pay scale. However, I do have a vivid imagination.

Not at all. Go to ChatGPT or some other AI. Say-
Im a woodturner, I need help visualizing glue ups. Can you show me what it would look like if I drilled 1 inch cubes of spectraply at a 5 degree bias and then glued together those cubes from center on a pen tube (or whatever you are trying to visualize).

It's kind of creepy but you can chat with it like having another brain in the shop to bounce ideas off of.

I've mocked up some segmented blanks in Fusion360 before (which also allows me to see what they'd look like when turned into a pen profile), but haven't used an LLM for it yet.

I do old-fashioned 3d models and yelling at my computer to work the way I want it to

I dont see it. It just looks like a stack of pieces with cutouts in them. I guess I was expecting to see a 3D rendered model.

I saw this thread and thought it was a great idea and a huge cost saver but it's got to be limited in what it can do.

So I went to ChatGPT and typed in an idea I've been knocking around for a while about an alternative material to use in pen making. So I typed it in there, it asked a couple questions, for clarification, and boom! It spit out directions for execution of the idea and 7 alternative ways to use the material. It also gave me a list of materials and the tools I would need.

This morning I asked it for a recipe for sugar free, bbq sauce using ancho chili peppers. Before I could get a sip of coffee I had my recipe. Hahaha that thing is great. Later I may ask it about my annoying neighbor.
