It's one thing to ask for a pong game, it's another to ask for a program that "does a kyc process" or something similarly complex
You're unlikely to be able to ask an AI tool for "flight management software" and get what you want. This stuff is extremely complex, with lots of moving parts and interactions with other components and with government regulations. You may be able to successfully ask for some specific function, but again, in order to understand that level of detail to even know what to ask for, you have to be pretty involved. It can't just be some non-engineer asking for things they don't understand.
Never mind the challenge of certifying the resulting software for use in commercial airspace...
And while I think AI tools may be a help (not unlike Stack Overflow), I think it would be a really big mistake to start replacing novice junior engineers with AI tools, even if we could do so, because we need senior engineers who really understand this stuff, and most of the training for aerospace work is on the job.
Assembly isn't that hard. You'd have still gotten a job, but your employer just wouldn't have gotten as much productivity out of you (so they'd either have had to hire more programmers or write less software).
