[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been hoping AI could make most of my job easier as an architect.
But nope, still have to work it out, then rework it, then change my mind because there's a better solution (because it takes a few false moves to realize that).[b] I wish AI could get permitting documents together,[/b] figure out how to detail that gutter integrated into the roof so nobody has to ever look at it, etc.. I wish it could tell me if the mason we eventually hire is skilled enough to do that crazy corner I want to design because some of them are really good and some are just not.[/quote]

This might be one of the best use cases for AI in your particular field but it is going to actually require you to hire someone to put it together for you.[/quote]

[b]Well, the issue with permitting documents is that each jurisdiction has different requirements - from how the sheets are formatted to differing building codes. AND each jurisdiction is continually evolving and changing the requirements. [/b]
We've always done these documents ourselves which is why we know this. The most annoying part is that it's constantly changing. And then there's the mood of the plan examiner you get assigned. Some be just fine with stuff, and others will get persnickety. It's kind of like trying to mail a package at the post office internationally.[/quote]

Yes, that’s WHY that task is a perfect candidate for automation and AI.  Someone enterprising will build a tool for architects to get them ahead on all of the manual aspects of this task.  So your drafts may not be perfect but you could save hours.  The trick is that most of what you are describing would require perhaps a combination of coding and AI, which is why you can’t get ChatGPT to do this task.[/quote]

You don't need AI to do this task, you could have a form library that is updated as a service, and perhaps a UI for walking you through inputs. If nobody offers that already, is it because there's no money in it?

Same with legal - people will say AI can write a contract or a brief. But people have been using templates or copying older work for decades and there's nothing AI about that. If anything, AI would make it more expensive. [/quote]

I’m a lawyer and AI is a leap in technology the same way document templates were a leap in technology and online legal databases were a leap in technology.  AI might not do the work for you but it might make it feasible to build in automations where it wasn’t profitable enough or worth the effort.

In my government role, I have a lot of random tasks that have been thrown on my plate and I’ve used AI to build in Visual Basic automation or use JavaScript on pdfs in some of my work and actually save myself a ton of time.  Before the LLM was available I was not going to take the time to learn VBA or JavaScript code, but the AI walked me through improving my processes and it was actually a lot of fun and has saved me a lot of tedium, and I didn’t have to hire someone or get a contract.[/quote]
