I think those in the computer science field see passable results of LLM use with respect to software and papers and start assuming other engineering fields should be easy.

They fail to understand other engineering fields documentation and process are awful. Not that computer science is good because they are even less rigorous.

The difference is other fields don’t log every single change they make into source control and have millions of open source projects to pull from. There aren’t billions of books on engineering to pull from like with language. The information is siloed and those with the keys now know what it’s worth.
