I am a software developer for structural engineering mainly for offshore and marine application. The software mainly developed to help engineers to do his/her job faster and more accurate. For example: design iteration can be done automatically; input can be done with user friendly way ie tracing from foto; formatted report and drawings can be produced directly after finishing an analysis. Load of things can be done in an efficient way to avoid human mistakes. Safety then can be guaranteed, especially when we are dealing with offshore operation which is usually costly. Those are some of the purpose of developing structural software in my opinion.

Chaos theory puts a mighty hole in the myth of AI making humans redundant. I think this XKCD comic sums it up pretty well. Thanks for the article!
