I’m with you on this. We can’t just causally brush aside a machine that can create the frame of a house unattended - just because it can’t also do wiring. It was a bad choice of image to use to attack AI. In fact it’s a perfect metaphor for what AI is actually good for: automating certain parts of the work. Yes you still need an electrician to come in, just like you also need a software engineer to wire up the UI code their LLM generated to the back end, etc.
You circled all the way back to the original point lol. The whole thrust of this conversation is “AI can be used to automate parts of the work, but you still need knowledgeable people to finish it”. Just like “a concrete 3d printer can be used to automate parts of building a house, but you still need knowledgeable people to finish it.”
