That’s your whole point, but you’re making it in bizarre ways, like equating a concrete 3D printer with a hammer and saying that building a house frame is meaningless because there’s still more to do.

Your issue is that you’re arguing with a straw man that’s not present. No one said AI can do absolutely everything soup to nuts. It allows for more automation than ever before, full stop. And you’re still harping on “yeah but you still need people.” No shit.

Then you blundered into the rhetorical pit of expecting everyone to hear “3D printing a house” as patently ridiculous, when in fact enormous strides are being made on that.

it's basically what I'm talking about

Well, a minute ago you were saying that AI worship is akin to saying

a hammer can build a house

Now you’re saying that a hammer is basically the same thing as a machine that can create a building frame unattended? Come on. You have a point to be made here but you’re leaning on the stick a bit too hard.

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.
