I own a design/build firm and I completely disagree, yes the Ai art tools are currently just tools but that’s like saying “this cnc machine won’t replace everyone cutting intricate parts by hand” yes the fuck it will. We do industrial design, pretty big clients in the outdoor industry. We have completely quit doing ALL industrial design work and pivoted to design/build in the architectural millwork arena. We feel like there is much more stability in this field than the previous. The tasks that are required in install and fabrication are just too varied for a simple robot to pull off. If I were to guess about any field of construction to be automated it would likely start with excavating, already has. Let’s not forgot about exporting our labor, now people can operate equipment from South Africa for $1.60/hr.
