    This is one of smartest and honest ways to use automation. Most people (movie studio VP) think AI can crate this entire process while reality is other. This video shows how the user does the creative thinking and use "AI" to automate the production work at a faster rate.

    You've done it again! Hands down the most entertaining, informative and impressive showcase of a "typical" architectural task. This is very likely the way the AI workflow will impact architecture in the near future. Not as a substitute of an actual human being, but as a powerful visual idea iterator.

      Coming from the photography world, I think it will be a similar thing. People are worried about AI replacing photographers, but the reality is that people want creative vision, not just the result. AI will never really replace that. AI will however, come to serve as an exceptionally useful tool in creative ideation and development. Like Eric said, it's more like sketching than having any prepared final product. That's left up to the individual.

      But what I really like about these examples in your videos is how you are using a.i. not really to explore a form, but to explore a mood, materiality and color. Im excited about trying something similar.

    My opinion is that most of the users will end up this process on choosing one of the generated image after max 3 tries, and that is just sad.

    Would it be insulting to do this yourself and bring some to an architect to polish out the idea?

    The more I learn about architecture the more I understand they are really artists. Which is why they can be replaced with AI

    Has AI increased architects’ profits, fees, and salaries? Probably not as they undervalue their services by doing free work, not charging for the smallest of design changes and hiring people at the lowest of salaries.
