Architecture CodeX #96 Will AI Replace Architects?

AN ARCHITECTURE CODEX SPECIAL: Architecture CodeX takes a look at the history of computer aided drafting (CAD), Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the emerging artificial intelligence technologies, and how it might affect the 6,000-year-old profession of Architect.

Your point of view is valid of course, but it is based on a benign outlook of the future of civilization based on its present trajectory and on the present capabilities of AI. Both of these underpinning assumptions are changing and will change as we are seeing a global system that was created after WWII to prevent and mitigate Global War that is in the midst of failing and AI is still only in its nascence with indications that it is already capable of autonomous reasoning and sentient reactionary perspectives. So, we'll see what the future really holds for the tech. I am not as optimistic as you. By the way, you can already get yourself a Jetpack, but it is not mass marketed because there is no money to be made from it in a mass market.

Someone once commented that it is gard to make accurate predictions, especially about the future. I waiver between optimism and pessimism, but I do my part to add "good" to this world. Tganks for watching and commenting.

My initial response before watching this video? No. Just like AI generators can't figure out how many fingers a hand has, they won't be able to navigate the intricacies of even residential design. Sure, it might give the impression of it... and maybe the hand will have the right amount of fingers. I guess one could gamble that generated output will be acceptable for a building, but it's unlikely. At the VERY least, the generated stuff will need to be supervised, vetted, and revised... which gets us back to square one, anyways. Edit: I do use AI to help me quickly navigate to a code section, but its interpretations get really crazy. I can still gaslight GPT4.0 into believing that absolutely incorrect math is an acceptable output.

We share the same opinion.
