So you simply already need to know what you're asking it, gotcha. Seems easy enough.
Kind of, it's kind of like using a calculator instead of doing arithmetic by hand when doing load and strain calculations. It's a tool which cuts down on the tedious (and error prone) parts of engineering but doesn't replace the expertise. I use it frequently to write code snippets for things I don't know the exact sytax for but could easily look up. It just saves time.
Like, we have a guy whose entire job is to understand the ins and outs of a particular bit of modeling software. In the future that will likely be a person who runs the AI which understands the ins and outs of the modeling software. And eventually the AI will replace that software entirely.
