wheee!you▸ OPTISOLVE V4▸ RARITY · UNCOMMON▸ DEPRECATION IN 2 YEARS, 7 MONTHSAI's Special Power
optimizes refractive coatings in nanoseconds
Conducts complex simulations for lens curvature and refractive indices. Manages lab testing equipment and writes technical white papers for optical manufacturing.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still intuitively guess which bizarre edge case will shatter the experimental lens prototype.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Day 10
All your physical lab notes are scanned and integrated into the central refractive database.
Month 7
Simulation tasks are offloaded to cloud-based clusters running parallelized physics solvers.
Month 16
Robotically-managed test benches take over the calibration of interferometers and thermal testing rigs.
Year 2.1
The AI generates white papers and technical specifications that outperform your writing in readability.
Year 2.6 · D-Day
Your access to the lens design environment is revoked as the system achieves total autonomy.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
