Will AI replace architects and civil engineers?

June 18, 2023

AI will not replace architects-engineering (AE firms) any time soon. AI is already assisting and augmenting the capability of AE professionals worldwide. This trend will continue growing and expanding within the next three decades. This is the time to jump into the AI "train". Opportunities abound and there will be more opportunities every single day in the next thirty years. 

Architects design and plan buildings and other real property structures. Architects apply technical knowledge, creativity, and expertise to design functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces that meet applicable regulations, code requirements, and client needs. Architects start by developing a concept or idea for a building. They consider factors such as the purpose of the structure, its location, the available resources, and any relevant regulations and building codes. Architects then create detailed drawings and specifications that outline the design, materials,  construction methods, estimated costs, and all relevant concerns to make the project a viable reality. 

During the construction phase, architects may visit the site to ensure that the project is being executed according to the design and specifications. Architects also help answer questions from owners and construction companies regarding building features. Architects collaborate with builders, contractors, and other professionals involved in the construction process to address any issues that arise. Overall, architects are responsible for designing safe, functional, sustainable, and visually appealing buildings that meet the needs of their clients while considering factors such as legal compliance, aesthetics, sustainability, and budgetary constraints.

Civil engineers plan and oversee the construction of real property and infrastructure projects. Civil engineers work on a variety of projects, such as buildings, roads, bridges, buildings, dams, airports, water supply systems, and so on. Civil engineers match intrinsic project needs and requirements with extrinsic factors such as site conditions, environmental impacts, and community needs.  Civil engineers assess engineering elements such as structural loads, drainage patterns, traffic flow, environmental impact of materials, sustainment needs, energy usage, etcetera to ensure that construction work meets requirements and is compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and codes. 

During the construction phase, civil engineers work closely with construction teams, including architects and specialized trade subcontractors, to ensure that the project is executed according to the design and specifications. They monitor progress, address any issues that arise, and make any necessary adjustments to the plans. 

Both architects and civil engineers play a crucial role in creating and maintaining the real property infrastructure that is essential for modern day life. In the United States, architects and civil engineers must be licensed. To be eligible for a professional license, architects and engineers need to complete years of study, complete apprenticeships, and pass rigorous exams. After all, there is a great responsibility associated with the designs completed by architects and the implementation work performed or overseen by civil engineers. 

AI will not replace architects-engineering (AE firms) within the next three decades. The next three decades will be the Golden Age of AI where AI will augment (without fully replacing) professions. A-E will not be an exception. A-E firms today are already leveraging the capabilities of specialized AI applications. The industry is still in its infancy. There is plenty of opportunity to jump into the AI train, and benefit greatly from AI in the next three decades.

When will the Tesla bubble burst?

December 11, 2024 When will the Tesla bubble burst?  We don't know Fools rush in. It's impossible to know exactly when the Tesla bubble will finally burst. Unfortunately for us at Creatix, we began shorting Tesla too soon. We are down almost 40% on our position as of today. We are not fooling ourselves thinking that we were ever make money on the short position. We truly doubt that Tesla can go down 40% any time soon.  We would love to add to the short position, but it would exceed our $3,000 limit on the stupid bets that we do for fun. We're not Mr. Beast. We have a very limited budget for ridiculousness. We would love to short Tesla tomorrow morning at the ridiculous share price of $424. Tesla is trading at an incredible 116 times earnings, which gives Tesla a market capitalization of $1.32 Trillion. Elon Musk added today $13.4 billion to his fortune. Yes, $13 billion in one day. Yesterday, he had added $11 billion. Yes, that's $24 billion in 2 days.  Six months ago, ...

Is there a Tesla bubble?

The record closing price stands at $410, achieved on November 4, 2021. This gives the American electric car maker a market capitalization of $1.26 Trillion.  Tesla is trading at 110 times earnings. The average price to earnings ratio in the "traditional" automotive industry (excluding Tesla, and also excluding Chinese car makers) is about 6.7. That is, while almost all car makers in the world trade at 7 times earnings in average, Tesla is trading at 110, which is 15 times the industry average.  Major Automakers (Excluding Tesla and Chinese car makers) ranked by P/E: Subaru Corporation (Ticker: 7270.T): 12.0 Suzuki Motor Corporation (Ticker: 7269.T): 10.0 Toyota Motor Corporation (Ticker: TM): 9.70 Isuzu Motors Limited (Ticker: 7202.T): 9.0 Honda Motor Co., Ltd.
