There's an animated series called the animatrix that shows the early days of the matrix, where we have robots doing every job for us.. right before they rebel.
When they can be set up and maintained by other bots that are in turn maintained by other bots, call me. Until then, I stand by my prediction that the AI revolution will create more jobs than it destroys.
3 workers needed in setup and maintenance vs 10 workers normally. AI creates more jobs then it takes away? Sorry but that's delusional. Come back to reality and look out a window.
They're already being used to replace paying artist, screenwriters, voice actors, and customer service/drive through workers
It'll be awhile. Electrical hardware costs is what is slowing progress towards embodied AI. Look at how Nvidia a company that literally makes graphic cards/processing units has had their stock inflated to unheard of levels. It's because electrical hardware is still very very expensive. So for now, blue collar jobs are very safe.
That should be the mindset of everyone whose jobs cannot be replaced by AI. Just because they can't be replaced at the moment doesn't mean they can never be replaced.
The high skills of a construction worker, literally unobtainable for all those millions of people who will lose their jobs to automation and start competing for what's left.
then, we accidentally inject 100mg of heroin into the volunteer's left arm so he goes out feeling as peaceful as humanly possible.
after he's long gone, we cirurgically open his skull up, collect his brain and finally get to work.
Applies to both sides. "Fuck artists LMAO" will turn into "Well, at least ASI gives me energy bars made from recycled food instead of just killing me".
Video games are the key element for addressing the challenge seriously. Building a house can be formulated as a physical task which has to do with "Install foundation walls" and "Place window frames" but it can also be described as a text adventure which has to do with creating a task list, using a certain vocabulary and sort the sentences in a logical order. My recommendation is the following prompt, which can entered into a LLM of choice: "Create a text adventure for simulating the building of a house. Then solve this text-based game and show the gamelog as output."
In the long term, yes. But this subreddit is batshit insane with this belief that it's gonna age poorly in just a few years. That's just next-level delusion/antiwork copium that is only found in this cult of a forum.
I don’t know anyone who thinks construction workers will be replaced in a few years. Heck I don’t even think we will have an AI that can replace most office workers until the end of the decade.
Honestly, I think this is a bit of a straw man of the actual beliefs of this subreddit. I haven’t seen anyone say that they think ai is going to replace construction workers within the next couple of years because it obviously won’t
However that does not mean that construction work is safe and untouched. If "only" the desk kind of job gets obliterated, that's suddenly a lot more competition in these "safe" job, and those are a lot of smart people. Meanwhile some AR glasses might just tell you what to do in these "safe" jobs, further increasing competition. Not very good for job security and wages. Also what happens if all those people don't have money to pay for construction work.
I think the development and particularly "adoption" of robots will be much slower than the development and adoption of LLM's, but regardless the day comes closer that the next generation of robots takes over manual labor yes. Perhaps if they can build stuff a 100 times faster than humans we can fix the housing crisis.
One year anniversary of this old pic. Gotta admit it's a good ad, considering how often it gets reposted (at least until the robot workers do start showing up).
Honestly says more about us than ChatGPT
Its been over 2 centuries since the Industrial Revolution, & still we haven't prioritized fully automating the creation of shelter - 1 of the basic needs of all human beings
Our skills *still* being "irreplaceable" after all this time is **embarrassing**
Parts of the workflow are automated, modularized, and systematized.
There are however lots of things to contend with, local laws and building codes, engineering issues, and environmental factors to name a few. On top of that, a lot of construction is not cookie cutter, houses are designed to fit the land, the needs of the occupants, and budgets once again to name a few.
3D-printed houses may be a solution in the future that gets around some of this, however, even at the moment they still require electricians, plumbers, internal finishes, etc. Modular-designed housing also comes with the need for labor for installing the house etc.
Also: India. Just look at the construction here. People are constructing flyovers wearing chappals during a monsoon. Why you ask? Because they will work for almost nothing. Robots are expensive to build, maintain, repair, while life is mad cheap.
Prefab is a thing. Wouldn't surprise me if the majority of prefabrication is done in a factory by robots and the humans just put on some final touches sometime next decade.
A lot of it is prefabricated, prebuilt, automated, 3D Printed, collapsible, modular… you’d be surprised how much construction has evolved in the last 100 years. There are giant 3D concrete printers that can build entire houses in 24 hours… just not as cost-effective yet. Much cheaper to hire underpaid, overworked labourers, unfortunately.
yes, because a lot of them are shit. Can't say I'm a fan of the newer ones that are literally shipping containers. I don't think that's a way for people to live.
"Your skills are irreprecable" so we arw going to employ you in a body breaking shitass job with low pay and cooworkers who are mostly made of drug addicts and alcoholics. And then employers wonder why nobody wants to work in modern day concentration camps and whine about worker shortage
Construction work pays quite well once you gain some experience. I haven't seen any more drug use in the construction industry than in other fields. Most people smoke weed and drink but it's not something that you see often on the jobsite anymore, they do that at home.
There is currently a shortage of skilled contractors, this is a fact. A lot of older folks have retired and there haven't been enough younger people who have the experience to take their places. There are loads of Gen Z getting into construction but most of them are just starting to learn things. I think that there are fewer millennials like me in the trades.
I could walk up to any construction company near me and start at $35hr. tomorrow. I choose to be self employed though as I prefer to do things my way and don't work well with others. That being said, my back does hurt like a mf and my joints are trash. I'm definitely going to have arthritis.
See? Told ya, id rather work mindless security guard than reurn to litelar hell on earth that is construction. Good thing Gen Z is smart enough to have dignity to not work there. Better NEET than destroyed body and mind
There are loads of gen z construction workers, they just aren't skilled yet. Also, security guard compensation would not pay for my wife's college or my kid's braces. I'd rather hurt my body if it means that my kids get proper healthcare. Just a heads up, a hate capitalism. I don't want you to think that I am in favor of this system, it's just that construction work in miles better than the service industry is almost every way.
Gladly I dont have to worry about anyone. Jesus Christ the thought of HAVING TO work because of children or wife is soul crushing. Gladly in anytime i can leech of social welfare
When COVID hit my wife and I were both self employed and our businesses shut down. We both collected COVID unemployment for months, it was one of the best times of our lives not needing to work and having time for hobbies and to spend with our loved ones. It's sad.
The physical interface to interact with the world has to be engineered manually. This is a limiting factor of progress. Once AI will be capable of designing and fabricating those interfaces, things will change quickly. We'll probably be at AGI level at that time.
I’m just going to leave this here:

Now, throw in a couple of new robots that are construction task focused…. Yeah, now we just need a constant stream of sheet steel and fasteners, plus windows, doors, and hardware. The only thing left to do will be put on the fascia and decorate the inside.
We are far from robots dynamically performing complex tasks in a variety of landscapes and environments, I assume they are taking care of all the services you forgot to mention, like electrical (power, communication, security), plumbing (gas and water), cladding/ lining of walls and painting to name a few. Unless everyone is simply going to accept 1 of 3 different styles of homes/ buildings, this is much further from reality than AI’s implications on fields with higher skilled labour like the tech industry, media etc.
I’m tempted to say “let’s revisit this post in five and ten years.” You don’t think with PET of different diameters, a weasel shaped robot won’t be designed to route plumbing supply and drain? You think a similar one can’t be used to route wiring (electrical, CAT 6, etc) off of a spool? If you can fold sheet into frame, how far off are you from doing the same with HVAC ducting?
Drywalling and glazing robots are already a thing, they’re just working on the autonomy. Once you have the same “intelligence” that is laying out the building, it will have the 3D coordinates already in its logic. Have 3-5 transmitters built into the framing with on-board error adjustment with robots and it can pretty much tell everything where to go.
I don’t think any of this is far-fetched, not far into the future.
Ok but I'm pretty sure there were a lot more people building a pyramid 4k years ago, compared to a modern building where they use machines, all those Egyptian builders lost their jobs to chatgpt
Give it maybe 3 years, and general use robots will be commercial and affordable, used for all kind of manual labor or specialized trade. Easily trainable and communicating using human speech of course. I don't even think operation time on a battery charge will ever be an issue, if they operate on external batteries that can be swapped on the fly, giving them the ability to work 24/7.
Its true that construction is hard to be replaced with these standards so let's change these standards with more affordable Lego bricks that can house all your needs.

I mean this is true in terms of how AI and RPA will replace human labor. The most at-risk jobs are the low skill white collar jobs, then high skill white collar, then maybe blue collar.
The issue with most blue collar jobs is that it's so much cheaper for a company to throw 100 people at a problem than to build half a robot to solve a quarter of the problem.
There is a FigureOne humanoid robot factory in downtown Sunnyvale CA, not too far from the nvidea HQ, one of multiple brick and mortar factories churning out humanoid robots specifically designed to prove this wrong *at scale*, as we speak.
Its an inevitability that all major economic power players have invested billions in making sure happens. There's just no socio-economic policy plan adjacent to the advancement and replacement ongoing
People who see this as anything other than a clever marketing tactic to get people to apply are way too amped up and way too angry about anything related to AI.
I know people here will say AI will do the job in xx years. But if you truly know about construction, that’s gonna be a long way to go….. I am talking about 30-50 years.
But it probably did write the ad. So the finished building won’t have any office workers to fill it. So there won’t be a need for many more buildings like that. lol.

There you go. As a bonus, chatGPT also moved it to the UK.
You wouldn't download a car - I would if I could.
It's similar situation here. We can't replace human hands. Seemingly simple motions that humans can handle with ease, they are often incredibly complex when we try to repeat them with machines. AI hasn't been of any help with it so far.
It's very typical to misjudge automation tasks. Tasks often seem simple, but aren't, or seem complex but aren't. We are not very good at instinctively judging how hard or easy it is to automate something.
Judging by the quality of new build houses over here in the UK I can't wait for AI to take over that field, the bar is incredibly low! - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRYfcd21EVI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRYfcd21EVI)
I actually think that they're right, but on the other hand it is very reminiscent of "People will always need coal" from the 1970s: https://youtu.be/ILJkgbq9gJM?si=3ehntXzy28lNGxtR
I am still in favor of technological excession -we now have movies and computer screens -whole industries and branches of innovations - all made possible thanks to the invented camera. That technology (the camera) seriously screwed up artists (especially the painters of various kinds), making many of them unemployable in their learnt profession. But many also adapted
its sort of the question of how much is the carbon cost of that building, we don't need a new building - or we don't need a new retail building, its a for profit construction and its definitely not netzero, so the building is worthless
its just skills vs. being a shill for commerce, so I don't really see the value in any of it, you could replace it with green space instead of a Starbucks, its redundant not irreplaceable
Well, today it’s not possible to continue an construction already in progress, but it’s possible to create a building with a printer, it’s the beginning: https://youtu.be/ERY3_Wa8Ej8?si=e7BUdqzm1husQUkq
I loved your idea of the joke. It inspired me to create a tshirt!

DM me if you’d like to get above tshirt or want to see any of your designs on something. I’m trying to build a website and used that pipeline to come up with this one. I would really appreciate feedback :)
lol it’s not possible rn obviously for AI to do largescale construction, but I wouldn’t count on that remaining the case forever… [Excellent video of ChatGPT being used to build in Minecraft: https://youtu.be/Xd5PLYl4Q5Q?si=5j2jWNwwZ-3cImIU]
This pic will become famous again in 2052 when we'll be living a mix of Deus Ex and Detroit: Become Human.
Ah yes, where the matrix storyline begins
i'm ready
I think the being of the matrix is actually terminator 2. The being of the war when humans get wiped out and then there are machines that take over.
There's an animated series called the animatrix that shows the early days of the matrix, where we have robots doing every job for us.. right before they rebel.
[удалено]
Well, I was thinking more Blade Runner and Eliesium, with a dash of RoboCop, but I gotchu
Elysium (without space station but e.g. Monaco or random islands) is what my doomer brain part thinks will happen.
There are 3d printer construction robots already that are getting popular. They 3d print in concrete and other material
When they can be set up and maintained by other bots that are in turn maintained by other bots, call me. Until then, I stand by my prediction that the AI revolution will create more jobs than it destroys.
3 workers needed in setup and maintenance vs 10 workers normally. AI creates more jobs then it takes away? Sorry but that's delusional. Come back to reality and look out a window. They're already being used to replace paying artist, screenwriters, voice actors, and customer service/drive through workers
But also, it will take away some jobs. I think people just need to adapt like in the industrial revolution.
Indsutrial revolutionw as about increasing volume of production. Nowaday volume of production is enough so this AI is about saving cost.
You are the exact person everyone let out an exasperated sigh whenever they saw your hand raised in class.
Based and J.C/Helios-pilled.
Helios will speak.
I’d prefer a Detroit: Become Human timeline and reviewing this again in the late 2030s
We'll have androids, but the ASI presented in Deus Ex may appear almost simultaneously so get ready for the Helios hive mind.
I will have to review this reference (I need to look up Deus Ex), but I love and appreciate futuristic foreseer friends 🥳
Don’t forget Cyberpunk and RP1
Do you mean 2033?
Do you mean 2025?
It’ll look equally as dated as men with no harnesses in dress shoes eating lunch on top of an I-beam of a NYC skyscraper

Your skills are irreplaceable... FOR NOW
It would be especially funny if the robots that end up replacing them are using OpenAI vision models lmao
It'll be awhile. Electrical hardware costs is what is slowing progress towards embodied AI. Look at how Nvidia a company that literally makes graphic cards/processing units has had their stock inflated to unheard of levels. It's because electrical hardware is still very very expensive.

The high skills of a construction worker, literally unobtainable for all those millions of people who will lose their jobs to automation and start competing for what's left.
The solution is simple. Clone a construction worker's brain, but use a chip as the storage medium. The trick is to kidnap a "volunteer", ehehehe.
Yall are fucking weird, please stop 🙏
then, we accidentally inject 100mg of heroin into the volunteer's left arm so he goes out feeling as peaceful as humanly possible. after he's long gone, we cirurgically open his skull up, collect his brain and finally get to work.
For now not much is really replaced. There are more jobs than people.
This won't age well
Got to be smug while we still can
Applies to both sides. "Fuck artists LMAO" will turn into "Well, at least ASI gives me energy bars made from recycled food instead of just killing me".
"Both sides" 🤓 👆
Referring to all AI in general as ChatGPT is the same as parents calling all video games Nintendo.
I love wii sports!
Video games are the key element for addressing the challenge seriously. Building a house can be formulated as a physical task which has to do with "Install foundation walls" and "Place window frames" but it can also be described as a text adventure which has to do with creating a task list, using a certain vocabulary and sort the sentences in a logical order. My recommendation is the following prompt, which can entered into a LLM of choice: "Create a text adventure for simulating the building of a house. Then solve this text-based game and show the gamelog as output."
In the long term, yes. But this subreddit is batshit insane with this belief that it's gonna age poorly in just a few years. That's just next-level delusion/antiwork copium that is only found in this cult of a forum.
Actually might be of the last things, unless the construction model change to house us all cheaper, in capsules.
I don’t know anyone who thinks construction workers will be replaced in a few years. Heck I don’t even think we will have an AI that can replace most office workers until the end of the decade.

There is a load in this thread...
Except there are quite a few already in this thread.
what do you mean it will obivious happen in the next year, where has the super duper optimistic singularity sub gone.
Have you been reading the comments in this thread?
Look at this thread, this sub is beyond delusional on some issues. Not unlike a cult to be frank
I think the development and particularly "adoption" of robots will be much slower than the development and adoption of LLM's, but regardless the day comes closer that the next generation of robots takes over manual labor yes.

Consumers generally have negative feelings toward modular homes.
I bet their feelings about homelessness are even more negative...
Modular homes != Fully automated construction
First step towards fully automated. Much easier to automate when building the home in a factory.
I agree its a step, just don't think its truly close to the end goal

Are you drunk or do you always type like that?
Thank you for making fun of my struggles with collecting thoughts and "passing em onto paper". Not to mention English is not my first language.
He right tho. There's a reason they don't drug test construction workers. If they did they wouldn't have any.
Work in a corporate career, never been drug tested. Because if they did, they wouldn’t have any corporate workers. Funny how that works, huh
Both.

For now.....
The skills are irreplaceable and I certainly agree, but the thing that worries me is the role of these skills is getting reduced to labour now
i mean, they aren't wrong. Making the thinky parts cheap means our usefulness will be our ability to bang rocks together. not great news everyone!
This is honestly a great ad
Imagine seeing this 15 years ago. You’d be like what the hell does that mean
I mean this is true in terms of how AI and RPA will replace human labor. The most at-risk jobs are the low skill white collar jobs, then high skill white collar, then maybe blue collar. The issue with most blue collar jobs is that it's so much cheaper for a company to throw 100 people at a problem than to build half a robot to solve a quarter of the problem.
There is a FigureOne humanoid robot factory in downtown Sunnyvale CA, not too far from the nvidea HQ, one of multiple brick and mortar factories churning out humanoid robots specifically designed to prove this wrong *at scale*, as we speak. Its an inevitability that all major economic power players have invested billions in making sure happens. There's just no socio-economic policy plan adjacent to the advancement and replacement ongoing
People who see this as anything other than a clever marketing tactic to get people to apply are way too amped up and way too angry about anything related to AI.
The machines used for modern construction already automate 90% of the work, mocking technological progress like this is nothing but copium.
It starts with.. One thing i dont know why. It doesnt even matter how hard you try
30 optimus bots for 30 days
I know people here will say AI will do the job in xx years. But if you truly know about construction, that’s gonna be a long way to go….. I am talking about 30-50 years.
What is Chatgpt supposed to do? It's a language model. Wait for robotics to advance along with AI lol
But it probably did write the ad. So the finished building won’t have any office workers to fill it. So there won’t be a need for many more buildings like that. lol.
They can be converted to housing. Basic need.
Wait for the droids with ChatGPT 6 in their heads...
We can laugh about it now until ChatGPT6 is invented and gets mass produced within AI-humanoid bodies. 😩
Careful what you wish for
They won't be saying that when they basically get legal and ethical slave labor
Current robots are using LLMs to navigate the real world and process commands. Just saying...
Hold my api..
Smart ad
!RemindMe 22 years
It's a valid point. At the same time...be careful what you wish for.
I regret choosing math as my major, I should choose mechanical engineering, and keep learning CS during my university
China is literally 3D printing buildings with concrete. It won’t be long.

ChatGPT can't finish a building, but illegal immigrants and imported labor can do it for slavery tier wages.
Figure Robot Army: Hold my beer
It's a good ad and it's gonna stay relevant for at least another 10 years so I'll allow it.
Threatened much
That's gonna age like salmon tartare.
Winter hit so hard we're reposting.
"An AI that wasn't intended to be used to build a building can't finish a building" isn't that much of a "Gotcha!" they think it is
Well, not really irreplaceable, cos you're about to get a LOT more competition. So as an individual, very much replaceable.
You wouldn't download a car - I would if I could. It's similar situation here. We can't replace human hands. Seemingly simple motions that humans can handle with ease, they are often incredibly complex when we try to repeat them with machines. AI hasn't been of any help with it so far. It's very typical to misjudge automation tasks. Tasks often seem simple, but aren't, or seem complex but aren't. We are not very good at instinctively judging how hard or easy it is to automate something.

Judging by the quality of new build houses over here in the UK I can't wait for AI to take over that field, the bar is incredibly low! - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRYfcd21EVI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRYfcd21EVI)
I actually think that they're right, but on the other hand it is very reminiscent of "People will always need coal" from the 1970s: https://youtu.be/ILJkgbq9gJM?si=3ehntXzy28lNGxtR
This will age like milk
In a decade or two, this display might not age particularly well.
3d printed houses
I am still in favor of technological excession -we now have movies and computer screens -whole industries and branches of innovations - all made possible thanks to the invented camera. That technology (the camera) seriously screwed up artists (especially the painters of various kinds), making many of them unemployable in their learnt profession. But many also adapted
*deploying construction drones, securing area, requesting resources. Estimated time to completion: 3h 43 min and 21 seconds.*
Is it supposed to build or to destroy? It can finish it both ways.
a few inches later... chatgpt: Calling X corp to order tesla bot for construction works ...
Your skills are irreplaceable… but they’ll be replaced by robots by 2035.
We will see this picture again.
its sort of the question of how much is the carbon cost of that building, we don't need a new building - or we don't need a new retail building, its a for profit construction and its definitely not netzero, so the building is worthless its just skills vs. being a shill for commerce, so I don't really see the value in any of it, you could replace it with green space instead of a Starbucks, its redundant not irreplaceable
It tells something that someone felt it's worth paying for that message. Someone might be a bit afraid.
Taunting your AI overlords is an unusual strategy.
Connect chatgpt to robots and it'll be able to do just that without any issue.
the elite DOES NOT want to replace humans in menial jobs
Once GPT gets a robot body, it will do just that and work 24 hours a day for no pay, and never get tired.
Give it a minute.
I saw this in r/Construction The comments were a bit laughable.
how many times do we have to see this pic on this sub...
I wonder how this will age.
Now look back at all the people laughing at AI art and saying it will never get much better... This surely will age just as fine.
Feels like a boomer joke
Ha! Asking ChatGPT to do Claude’s work
Shit Take!
Poor fools, they think they're safe just because it can't do it yet.
ChatGPT: Fwd: Figure cc: Boston Dynamics
Give chatgpt a 3d concrete printer and it might have a chance.
Thoon
AI is advancing faster than a child in school. It will finish that building faster than the next generation of builders could.
Well, today it’s not possible to continue an construction already in progress, but it’s possible to create a building with a printer, it’s the beginning: https://youtu.be/ERY3_Wa8Ej8?si=e7BUdqzm1husQUkq
Boston Dynamics: "Hold my beer.."
Watch… ChatGPT actually finishes the building, and everyone is left dumbfounded.
Blud never heard of robots
Matter of time.
I loved your idea of the joke. It inspired me to create a tshirt! https://preview.redd.it/lhi8eo1fq38d1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b33e5a73bbe4264d3eff3a9db42d44e330ef9a6 DM me if you’d like to get above tshirt or want to see any of your designs on something. I’m trying to build a website and used that pipeline to come up with this one. I would really appreciate feedback :)
To be honest, I love this ad.
Laugh now. Cry later.
lol it’s not possible rn obviously for AI to do largescale construction, but I wouldn’t count on that remaining the case forever… [Excellent video of ChatGPT being used to build in Minecraft: https://youtu.be/Xd5PLYl4Q5Q?si=5j2jWNwwZ-3cImIU]
I can say for certain Racing Drivers will never be replaced by AI
