Will physics AI replace engineering jobs?

Not outright – speeds iteration, but humans steer creativity, validate finals. Aero specialists evolve to AI wranglers.

How accurate are large physics models?

Good enough for early design (per GM), tunable with real data to beat sims sometimes. Finals? Still prototypes rule.

What industries use physics AI most?

Auto (GM, JLR), aerospace, semis – anywhere sims bottleneck design.

Physics AI Cuts Car Design Weeks to Minutes – Skeptical Take on the Hype

Forget two-week waits for drag coefficients. GM's using physics-trained AI to iterate car designs in minutes. Real speed gain – or recipe for overlooked flaws?
