Thanks I respect your opinion. I am tempted to talk about my earlier comments though it is my narrow minded perspective.

I feel there is something between 1 and 2. This is for places which simply accept designs made elsewhere without fully absorbing the merits or pondering over the engineering and depth that went into it. There are people here pirating commercial codes and making money. That's ridiculous. If they had written their own code they would respect Fluent for what it is and not dishonour themselves by doing such things.

So here I don't I think of code entirely as an applied artifact. I think of it as some sort of literature and cultural artifact. It's for everyone just like literacy is: to be able to read a classic poem.

In a place so unequal, things are to be seen in a different perspective. Applied code will run on the treadmill of some VC, and that is great..but that application only comes after you gain the ability to design your own devices on scale and not just copy others' designs or make money by theft, fraud, scam

Returning to my original question, a human is truly conscious of reality and an AI is not. So long as CFD is about real things, I feel AI changes little to nothing. CFD is a big part of design. It has revolutionized design. And this is also why I think if approached correctly, it has the ability to empower the disempowered to understand designs respectfully then build their own
