AI Generated Images of Engines vs Transmissions


Recommended Posts

I was browsing the landroverforums.com and on this particular post (https://landroverforums.com/forum/lr3-28/brown-stuff-coolant-overflow-tank-123220/) had what looked like a AI generated photo of an engine and transmission and fluids. 1_7b11fbea4afafebc8d74382789f4166be7ae0603.jpg


Now me being curious I hopped onto Chat-gpt and asked to show me the difference between a v8 and a transmission and what fluids should be present and it gave me this:

It of course botched it, and got pretty much everything wrong. I got a kick out of the bottle of spark oil 🤣.

This got me wondering about the use of AI in diagnosing car related issues and general use for automotive purposes. I've personally played around with it a bit and found that it can correctly diagnose problems with some help. An example of when my brand new MAF sensor went out after hitting 5k rpm in an LR3. While it may not have any real world knowledge of cars, its helpful to see the problem from another angle. I've also found it useful when designing an onboard air system for the D2. I didn't feel like doing all the math and figuring out the theoretical performance in different environments. Giving it my tire size, range of air up and air down pressures, CFM of potential air compressors, a variety of different air tank capacities and what if scenarios it was able to give me the theoretical air up times, and the power needed to do it. Now this isn't terribly hard to calculate, but It saved me so much time doing the calculations and adding what if scenarios to it.

Have any of y'all used it for automotive purposes? Curious to see how everyone uses it!
