‘It’s already way beyond what humans can do’: will AI wipe out architects?::It’s revolutionising building – but could AI kill off an entire profession? Perhaps not, finds our writer, as he enters a world where Corbusier-style marvels and 500-room hotels are just a click away

As you said, it's based on building costs. No reason for AI to change this whatsoever

    You could maybe use AI to design a bunch of variations on one design with the same or less building cost.

    That wouldn't work because it's the variation itself that leads to increased cost. It's just easier and cheaper to build the same thing over and over. You can have superficial changes like having some houses flipped but AI can't really help there.
