AI in handload development

[Jefferry404]

Well, I use it a bit for physics stuff associated with internal ballistics, etc. Had problems as I dialogued with changing units, etc. tried to optimize QL for known load data (have my own method that works well) and it tried, gave me much info about QL internals but was a dismal failure to match QL to the load.
But it is good for technical insights and a direction for further research.
What I do not like is the positive feedback and compliments! Seems design to keep me engaged.
When I yell at it that is was horribly wrong, comes back, “Oh, good observation, you are right”
or for my barrel designs, “ truly masterful designs”
Lastly, it never seems to know when it is wrong! 100% confidence.
So, like any tool or software (too old to say apps!) need to pay attention.

You know, hours and hours are spent by those developing loading manuals. Velocity testing, pressure testing, powder bullet compatibility testing, putting together a manual.

Much more accurate and reliable than something computer generated.

Agreed but you're missing the point.
The manuals are the developed empirical data. You can spend hours reading and studying.

The AI is just a tool to compile and parse a great deal of that data and get you closer to the end result faster.
It's not a replacement. It's cliff notes. But cliff notes that you must use while keeping a healthy dose of skepticism in place.

If you are cautious and check AI data against a reputable manual I can agree. If your going solely on AI you could be in trouble, it can be inaccurate.
For load development, one should check data obtained on forums, friends, & other sources, against a reputable loading manual.

Preferably 2 or 3 manuals. They may vary according to components (brass, primer, powder, projectile, etc).
