Inspiration! AI for research - or how I learned about dies

[JohnBertel]

So another thread about AI

I think in my first thread I fuelled a discussion about if AI is able to write sentences or even books, and I feel it would be a shame if that discussion overshadowed other, more practical uses of AI.

So I'm sharing an example of a research "conversation" with openAI for others to consider this kind of research, well aware that books, google etc could have provided the same answers.

I've kept my typos in the text.

Me: what kind of machine would be used to form metal into a ball about an inch in diameter. Assume the metal is very hard and can not be heated to be malleable

A hydraulic press or a forging hammer would be used to form metal into a ball about an inch in diameter. These machines use high levels of pressure and force to shape the metal into the desired shape, and are typically used for forming hard metals that cannot be heated to be malleable.

Me: but how can a forging hammer give the metal the ball shape won't it just make it flat

A forging hammer can give metal a ball shape by using a round or spherical die, which is a shaped tool that is used to form the metal into the desired shape. The metal is placed in the die and then struck with the hammer until it takes on the desired shape. The force of the hammer blows and the shape of the die combine to form the metal into the ball shape.

Me: so the hammer would trike the die and not the metal directly

Yes, that is correct. The hammer strikes the die, which in turn shapes the metal into the desired shape. The metal is placed in the die and held in place while the hammer strikes it, applying pressure and force to shape the metal. The shape of the die determines the final shape of the metal. In this case, a round or spherical die would be used to form the metal into a ball shape.

Me: tell me more about a die

A die is a shaped tool that is used to shape or form materials, typically metal, into a desired shape. Dies can be made in a variety of shapes and sizes to produce a wide range of different products, from small precision parts to large structural components. Dies are often used in conjunction with a press or a hammer to apply pressure and force to the material being shaped.

There are several different types of dies, including:

• Punching dies: Used to cut or punch holes in materials
• Forming dies: Used to shape materials into specific shapes
• Drawing dies: Used to stretch and thin materials
• Trimming dies: Used to cut off excess material from a finished product

Dies can be made from a variety of materials, including tool steel, carbide, and ceramic, depending on the application and the materials being shaped. They can be simple in design or highly complex, with intricate shapes and features to produce precise parts.

Me: Would a a hydraulic press also press on a die

Yes, a hydraulic press can also press on a die to shape or form materials into a desired shape. A hydraulic press works by using a hydraulic cylinder to generate a large amount of pressure, which is then applied to a ram or plunger that is connected to a die. The material being shaped is placed in the die, and the ram is lowered onto it, applying pressure to shape the material into the desired shape.

Like a forging hammer, the shape of the die determines the final shape of the material. A hydraulic press can be used to shape a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites, and can produce products with high levels of accuracy and repeatability. It is often used in manufacturing applications where large quantities of parts need to be produced quickly and consistentl

Me: are there any other words for a die

There are a few other words or terms that can be used to refer to a die:

• Mold: A tool used to shape materials, typically by casting or injecting them into a shaped cavity
• Form: A tool used to shape materials, typically by pressing or forging them into a specific shape
• Tool: A device used to shape or form materials, typically by cutting, shaping, or forming them in some way
• Stamping die: A tool used to cut or shape materials, typically by pressing them with a stamping press or machine
• Fabrication die: A tool used to shape materials, typically by welding, bending, or forming them into a specific shape

Me: what is plural form of die in this context

The plural form of die in this context is "dies." For example, "The manufacturer used a set of dies to shape the metal into the desired shape."

Nice chatty little bot you’ve got there.

I always thought fabrication dies = lies found out so no use anymore.

So I'm sharing an example of a research "conversation" with openAI for others to consider this kind of research, well aware that books, google etc could have provided the same answers.

Can you please elaborate? How is this AI? And what are you referring to with “openAI”? Inquiring minds…

The conversation was from: chat.openai.com. So I) called it open AI because that is the site name and the company behind it has been clear about it only remaining "open" until a certain time, and then users will have to pay.

It is AI because you can interact it with the system in a way that is close to how you would interact with a human. If I could afford a human researcher I would imagine our chat has gone very much like the one I transcribed above.
