Tell me you've never designed new cancer treatments, programmed a video game, or decoded a species genome w/o telling me.

If you think construction is too complicated for AI and robotics to ever be able to handle all that shows is how very little you know about the industries AI has already had a large impact on and how little you think of the people working in those fields.

    Don’t mistake my criticism as exclusion of other industries. At no point did I bring up any other industry and its relation to AI so let’s leave the straw man out of the argument. Furthermore you conflate sci-fi and hype with reality.

    Specs exist, drawings exist, but work always deviates for one reason or another. It’s one thing to look at lines on a page and another to do it and be there. Little decisions to make changes to suit a situation or field conditions have to be made every day.

    I'm not arguing a straw man. AI has already made strong headway in the areas I listed. Things that two decades ago people would not have expected to happen.

    I'm not conflating sci-fi and hype. You're conflating what you see around you right now with what will be around you decades from now. You understand the difficulties of your own line of work but don't understand the similar difficulties in many other professions and fields, and so even though AI has already begun to overcome those very similar issues in actual practice in the real world right now you still believe it's a thing that can never happen.

    You describing the detailed procedures necessary to construct a house doesn't make your point. It does the opposite. It's showing you know your own little world and not much outside of it. There are already buildings being 3D printed using AI to adjust for real world discrepancies not shown on the schematics. It's a thing already happening. Yes, those aren't easily movable devices that can build an entire row of homes. That's not a thing yet. But it will be, and I'd be very surprised if it took more than 20 years to happen.

    I have no interest in arguing with you about it, because you're wrong. Categorically and completely. Feel free to set a calendar reminder from two decades from now so you can rub in my face how it turned out that I was so smug and wrong and you were right all along. It won't happen.

    No shit dude. This is a meme about AI and construction. The entire argument this meme presents is the ability of AI (or rather lack of) to replace construction.

    So coming in with a “AI has made in-roads with x other field” is a complete unrelated bullshit you’ve brought in to strengthen your defense of AI. That’s like if I said Invermectin doesn’t do shit for COVID, and you come in with “well it works great on horses”. Regardless of the legitimacy you feel your statement has, it’s off topic. And it still doesn’t change the fact that AI isn’t replacing shit when it comes to actual trades.
