The Building Was Never the Point
There was this time that a client once asked me to design a three bedroom ensuite plan for her and said that she wanted her living room to have this Sunday morning vibe. That is not a measurement nor a style either. It is just a feeling she wanted. She was unable to give a detailed explanation of what exactly she wanted, and I did not push it too. I only sat with what she said until something became clearer to me.
And I have seen countless people saying that AI will replace architectural drawings and even architects. Some software can now come up with building plans now even though they might not be accurate. And some software, too, can now give a cleaner render than some finished construction. And I won't lie about that.
But that client I talk about didn't ask me for a floor plan. What she asked me for was to put her feelings into life, a feeling she couldn't understand herself. And that that of translation, there's no shortcut for it. One needs to have felt spaces differently. The difference between one that quietly suffocates and a room that breathes. How mood shifts when light enters from the wrong angle before one realizes it.
Even after ten years, architecture will still continue to exist. And I don't think any version of it will disappear soon because everything about architecture is that it needs human interaction to come to life.
And architects who can reason well and understand the feelings of humans inside space will remain. And those types of architects are different from those who understand software, because anyone can just operate it with constant training. And that is what makes AI just finally make that gap more visible.

You're absolutely right; interaction, understanding another human, is what matters most these days. AI can create plans in seconds, but it's a person's eye and sense that will have the final say.
I like the W you put the last part, the perfection comes from our eyes and that is the most important thing, cos in a building plan, we need it to function
There's more to architecture than just plans, designs and software. If it were so, then the assertion about AI doing it all could have some relevance at least, though not fully. But the ability to create a space that transcends just lines and forms, to one that defines and communicates emotions and movement, and that enforces some psychology is beyond the reach of AI. This is where architecture beyond the conventional take resides, and it depends on the whims and intellect of a human being; the architect, not some AI tool.
You get the point, without the intellect of human being, the plan created with AI won't function and AI will only create a generic plan, not plans according to each countries, weather conditions and exactly to human taste
You are correct, the technology to help and can not replaced the human being. Even to run a technology you need manpower. The feeling is one emotional which make us different form machine and till now it snot possible in machines.

You are absolutely right. It all requires humans power, we can't say about the future though, but for now

There are many things that can be just be replaced. AI is doing well but I don't think it can replace humans, in the end the two just have to work together for better outcomes
