Houses will be made differently with wiring and plumbing in the parts that will click together.
That is the right direction for thought.
AI and automation will have some limitations, but the things they can do, they will do extremely well. And so the world will re-shape itself to take maximum advantage of what AI can actually do, and the world will find a way to work-around the limitations of AI.
A lot of people here seem to think AI is pretty much smoke and mirrors. I am in the other camp. I think it is changing everything and doing it faster than people think. I say 5 - 10 years, and you won’t even recognize society.
“Houses will be made differently with wiring and plumbing in the parts that will click together.”
There’s Shark-Bite (which has taken a really big bite out of the plumbing part industry).
One can strip the ends of 12/3 and 14/3 cable and insert them.
Copper has a bad tendency to tarnish.
Houses are already being 3D printed with concrete walls.
Lots of videos on YouTube.
They leave gaps to install electrical wiring.
The 3D printer lays down two 3” wide by 2” thick ribbon of concrete about 8-10” apart. Leaving room to fill the cavity with insulation. Then they have to frame out the windows and doors with wood to attach the doors and windows to.
The concrete slab floor is poured first. With all the plumbing pipes in the correct places. The roof is still built out of wood trusses or framing still.
Many houses, apartments and hotels are all built in module factories now. There is one in Idaho that builds the hotel rooms for Marriott hotels in their factory. When it ships to the building site it has everything already in the module including the bed, mattress, vanity and mirror(in a box).
This means the Courtyard Marriott hotel built in Detroit is the exact same one built in Paducah or Calgary.
