Which team do you think should win?
fire them both.
overall I thought human results were more interesting and at this point it's easy to see which is which, but at least for the round one of the competition I think ai version won only because it had more interesting angle and shading while your design didn't show off it's strengths from a drone like front view shot, like if you did an angle render, showing off pool caustics and more of the shape I think it would have won against a rather traditional looking house.
Both, the AI design is unusable because it's nonsensical in many ways, so you need to take the AI's strong points and "fix" it by making it make sense. So you need each other, the AI can't win when its design can't be built at all, but it does win otherwise, so it needs you to win and thus you both win.
Or maybe it's disqualified for making a nonsense layout and you just win.
if this video was made earlier than this week. you'll be shocked at what just got released this week. this week is known as AI-week. literally ai is on steroids left and right. microsoft copilot. google palme, chat gpt4. midjourney5, alpaca. its just been 4 days.
to give you a test they are all at least 5x better than the current peak ai.
like in your image generation contest section, the new ai can now take image input, basicly they can design onething and you can feed into the picture and ask it to make it from a different angle or to change just a specific part to make it more functional.
loved the video, though id like your input after a rematch. about how close ai is to taking jobs
Humans for sure . thought , effort functional wise humans. love your video and the idea. cant wait to see more of your videos.
For an architecture channel, you sure provide alot of thought-provoking ideas. I always enjoy your videos!
Who knew architecture would be this fun 🤷♀️😊
@404T2K It's interesting how a presenter style can make a subject more/less interesting to people, in this case more interesting!
She stole this video and copy other architect content
@@jeffwoolley9124 demi is copying 😅 just search this video and there is other architects that she copy from
@hiwelcometochillis2579 I don't really care that much to, it's not like a thesis 😂
It's funny how AI is nailing the "gut feeling" aspect of things rather than what we always assumed would be a more logical preference. Like giving people what they want is more important than practicality or tangibility. Instead of something highly objective, we've got something that's hyper-subjective.
I agree, but also, I don't find the team's design very livable, and it's a huge waste of acreage and what prospective homeowner wants that? On top of that it's just ugly brutalism that would make me depressed to return home to. I've seen prefabs with more charm. They just did a really really bad job, as the flaws in the AI design's layouts just need some tweaking.
@@ANPC-pi9vu I agree. They went for what they felt was practical and maximized one aspect: The view from the building away. But the view when coming home from a long day at work was utterly neglected and ended up as a brutalist dystopia, while the AI picture was better in giving the home warmth and the impression of an actual home.
@@ANPC-pi9vu Nailed it. They didn't care for the site only the slope and they forced Nature to adapt to their design instead of working with Nature.
The exact same is true for romantic attraction - it's a gut feeling and not something that logic can change.
I remember our days in architecture school when we had a quiz there was a girl kind of ignoring the description of quiz (Not completely )and she was giving her imagination the freedom to do what she want to do , the surprise she was getting A+ while other who follow the instruction literally got B and some says oh thats not fair , human is a mass of feeling and you gotta find the way to manipulate his mind as an architect
Exactly, AI will impress you through the presentations but the need of the clients such as thermal comfort, space planning, ambiance, and others that are accumulated through the architect's experience and emotions are not.
Ai 🤖 has been doing things that can be classified as Evil and do we want to give it a free pass in our society
Having been in the Architectural and structural design field for 43 years, that was surprising, but in architecture I’ve heard it said “everything has been done, we are just copying, (cutting and pasting also). Since I’m on my way out, I am not afraid of being replaced. AI is doing what CAD (Revit and AutoCad) is doing now. The details need to be worked out. “The Devil is in the Details.” Thank you this was very interesting! AI Designs look pretty good, one looked like it was influenced by Cutler/Anderson.
I got the idea, the main reason AI won your competition is simple: The AI architectural concepts looked conventional. It looks like the shiny photographs from shiny architectural magazines. While your human-made concept was more thought through and of deeper understanding of site and customer, which was immidiately visible to me. AI in the current form leads to conventionalism.
yeah its a very iterative process at the moment, I like that you stipulated 'AI in the current form' because that will change as what currently approximates or imitates intelligence starts to become actual intelligence. not obvious how fast that development will happen though, my gut feeling is it will take longer than it currently feels.
I agree - especially with Midjourney. ChatGTP can do better if you specifically ask it to but still plenty of room for improvement there. These AI programmes are only in their infancies though so it won't take long for massive improvements I think.
The image quality and shading was better on the AI version also which puts it at an advantage. Functionnality tho...
so the AI would win the client. most clients have no idea.
I don't know. Look at all the dozens of designs it produced at 6:44. the lower left and the center middle right images look pretty unconventional to me also. I really would be interested if you would swap one of these houses for the architect-created one if that one would actually stand out that much.
I'm an IT engineer and I started working with chat GPT about a month ago.
I was already pretty good at coding (mostly scripting) but working with AI I've made about a year of progress in a month. It can also break down and explain errors so you can fix issues more quickly. It's really insane. At this time there's no way it can replace an IT entirely but for specific tasks, it's a game changer.
It will, soon enough. I think IT will be among the first to get reset.
I m also a automation eng. But I have a rather different opinion. Yes ChatGPT helped me too but I m now too lazy to think because this AI had closest answer and I just have to work around it. I became dependent of it. Now imagine today's new Developers who are still learning, there consume the results not the core logic
@josef Your example makes me wonder, because if you as a single person can do a year job in a month is meaning 12times faster. Which in the end reducing human workforce, so AI will replace 11 IT workers I am thinking.
@@tenbear5 IT is directly linked with surveillance and control which with AI through IoT will be easy to do. So, if we continue to move at this pace without guardrails for governance, I am afraid I agree with you.
@@chris-zu6sf Very soon now, no one will have a paid, valid job .... and you will all have buckets of time, but zero personal wealth. What will you do? Study to enlighten yourselves.... what will you do with a zero income/loads of free time economy?
Aside from the AI, this Cinematography of this video is a Masterpiece 💯. Amazing work.....
Totally agreed
Was done by AI
broooo i have to say, i found out about your channel couple hours ago and im completely AMAZED, all the content u do is great, the way you write the script and the whole production is top notch!!!
That video was the next level, very well done guys
Daniel has been one of my favorite RUclipsrs for a while! I'm so glad you guys collaborated!
We had a blast! 😁
Very well done video showing the strengths and weaknesses from both sides. Your thoughtful insights at the conclusion was mature and to point. Pl keep on producing your series as young aspiring architects will face tremendous challenges in the near and distant future.
Amazing video, pretty interesting and enlightening, and I have to admit that motivated me to think some other aspects of my thesis! Thank you Dami ❤
It's kinda ironic, we always figured the creative process would always be human controlled while the actual construction part would be replaced by machines, meanwhile the opposite is happening with AI becoming extremely good at creative processes while the on site labour is actually the part that's very hard to replace with machines
They've got some construction robots that are more efficient now, albeit much harder to set up, and a lot of the finish work and details still need to be done manually by humans.
Great observation
it's a bit more complex than that. AI didn't become good at creative process. it studied the art that humans produced, and is iterating on it. it's a derivative of what already exists. so it can be seen as stealing/piracy/plagiarism. and in some cases, it is directly just that.
it means that, for now, for AI to continue being good at creative processes, they still need human art to be produced and evolved.
it's when an AI will be able to produce art from nothing with its own style that we should be "looking forward" to :D
@HiP is correct. AI is accessible information. If the essential core concept wasn’t previously designed, it can’t be done by AI.
Machines able to built cheaply with current materials that are geared to human builders are expensive. If the industry would shift to more mechanization. Then we would definitively see a change. Its not just creativity its the industry built around it that actually makes the stuff.
That’s absolutely wild and shocking it won by such a huge margin! Great topic, thanks for the insight
Actually, it won in the category of pretty pictures not in the actual architectural thinking that is involved in implementing a building after the pretty pictures are generated.
@@AnaMarcu The AI will run circles around the limited mental capacities of a human before the year is out. It won because it came up with the better photo, which is what was demanded of it. Prompt it to design the most pragmatic interior and it will outperform any architect.
@@DickCheneyXX I am excited to see what AI will do, but as you have seen in the video, when it came to the layout, AI just made it pretty, not functional. And unless you want to have tons of wasted space and rooms that are not connecting in your home, AI is not there yet. After the pretty picture there is a lot more thinking given to details, budgets, timeline, and than back to functionality, that were not discussed here and that AI still needs to catch up with. But drafting is a pain and I can’t wait to show AI a pretty picture and spare me a year of drafting. But sadly, it’s not there yet.
@@AnaMarcu !remind me in 3 months.
@@tampham9611 5 or 6 weeks and a good model and this is fixed
Really enjoyed. Am an architect working as a project manager for public building division in the TLV municipality. Have been searching AI for architecture. the way you presented was great. love your humor without losing focus on the main purpose of the video.
kinda felt like watching a modern angle on the of John Henry story :)
I very much enjoyed your approach to explaining the impacts and how AI will be impactful on highly specialized jobs. Thank you!
The quality of all your videos is astounding, always keeping your watchers educated and entertained, and always learning something new. Thank you to you and your team for never failing to deliver an amazing video. Keep up the amazing work
Amazed by the quality of this video, from the writting to the description box to everything in between. Excellence.
The Detail and process explained in all your videos are creative and yet intuitive. Always a pleasure to watch one of your videos
I loved this video and I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you for showing us this so important point in our professional lives.
as a student currently studying to become an Architect
i do sometimes have this in the back of my mind that AI might replace Architects by the time I become one
But yes everything has 2 sides : a good and a bad
and seemingly you covered it here (Thanks!)
and this is what keeps me motivated to move towards my goal
I hate the people who created ai....
We could have lived without it
@@yogendrasinghrajput1 somewhat agreed
And partially disagreed
But yes we definitely would have lived without it
@@yogendrasinghrajput1 but with AI we will live better
@@tantecosenelmondo2350 debatable, ai could be used by the state to control everything, also we won't have work and we will starve
Comp Science student here. Things are looking iffy mate. Code is writing itself now. Wtf.
The way you talk, the way you tell stories, your voice, the knowledge ... love your videos.
Except the vocal fry
This video and your study is fantastic. My view is that there is defiantly a place for AI in the design process. I’m unsure though AI would ever be able to replace the emotional intelligence the architect holds within themselves and comes out through their creations. Time will tell. Thank you. Great work.
Oh my! I just love how cinematic the presentation is, I wouldn't mind a longer video. Superb!
Spectacular video.
Setting aside general AI, things like midjourney and ChatGPT will increase productivity. A skilled person can use AI to speed up their work in ways an unskilled person can't. For example, an artist can draw the pictures necessary to train the AI to iterate the subject in different situations. Having a skill is still very useful. It's just that a single person will now have the power of a small studio at their command.
thats true. As an artist, I see AI art the same way I see reference images, a means of alleviating the creative process and allowing me to work much faster.
Having skill is useful, but it’s becoming less and less important to have it as this tech is maturing, which I find not a good development. I recently went back in my creative field, design for entertainment, and found past productions had so much raw skill being showcased, I feel the future will never be as good as that. It brought a level of care to a project, where if you acquire everything cheaply, the care will be missing.
@@Auxius. Having skill is extremely important, not just useful. The AI still can't create things out of thin air, it has to be trained. And it's trained on human's work. What AI will do in the next couple of years to "creative" professions is what industrialization did with unskilled workers back in the day. It won't dominate the field, but it will lift the bar, that's it.
@@Auxius. That is elitism, gatekeeping quality art because of “skill”.
@@kingol4801I wonder how you handle solicitation declines, probably with the same accusation.
Architecture is so much more than sketching pretty shapes for plans and producing renders (that look like every other AI image!).
AI will also never deal with tricky contractors and angry clients. Without architects the design team would have no idea what they are doing most of the time.
True, true... but I dream of the day when AI takes care of an angry customer and I can blissfully design
@@AOTBrightSide can AI just get clients to pay on time? Would be a great start?!
@@eleycki I'm afraid even AI can't handle it. Unless the mafia trains algorithm 😉
Yeah, but a studio instead of 10 people probably will need only half
But pretty shapes sell (at least, shapes that are pretty to the unwashed masses, which can even include wealthier unwashed masses, who think they're so smart they don't need study architecture to know what makes a house nice looking).
You have a very logical and systematical thinking, and that makes every video a delight for architectural, perspective, and artistic nerds. Also, you have a very charming personality!
Professional, creative, entertaining, and informative. Oh, and elegantly including the sponsors' message. A masterpiece of a video. Well done.
It looks like the AIs you used use a LOT of Pinterest. Seriously, my Pinterest is full of these renderings and fotos of beautiful houses and these look EXACTLY like the ones I see on my for you page. Like, even down to the environment and colour grading. I would still make the case that these are somewhat human designed buildings, because these seem like copies to me. Similar to what Dall•E does with art. There where lots of artists who felt like their art was used (stolen!) by this AI, and I have a feeling that a lot of architects might be able to recognize parts of their work in these AI renderings.
The art absolutely is stolen unfortunately, but proponents of this tech are too enamored by it to admit/accept it. They want to claim it "thinks just like a human does", which is so god damn far from the truth. It takes in a bunch of human work and compresses it down to weighted matrices, the information is still there in a derivative intermingled form. The "AI" does not create completely new concepts, it only mixes up that existing data, and because there's enough layers of mixing, it's obfuscated enough to be convincing to people that it's "Creating", but it's not because it doesn't actually conceptualize or understand what it's making, it's just following paths of strongest association for different features of the image tied to keywords.
@@kczyk being on a public website doesn't mean you have permission to use someone's art however you want. Feeding it into an algorithm so that program can spit out countless derivative works at breakneck speed, while the artist gets nothing for their art contributing to a program that impacts them financially is very morally bankrupt.
@@invertexyz Most people don't create complex concepts either. There is hardly anything new at all in human creation. AI might steal, if it is overfitted and trained badly. But what you said, compressing information, finding patterns etc is not stealing. Artists are scared of this change. They were also scared of cameras at some point. Some said that since a camera can capture reality better than them why to make an effort to paint realist paintings. But like a camera, this technology is a tool. Not every generated imagine is good in the same way not every photo is good. To pick the right one is the art of both. But the fundamentalist artists are not ready to accept that yet.
@@invertexyzyour description of what ai is doing sounds exactly the same as what human brain is doing, just sayin
@@plunntic and I'm telling you it's not, brains are drastically more complex than just layers of weighted value networks.
There is a reason even a 5yo can draw the right amount of fingers, but that these tools struggled to despite outputting high quality images a kid couldn't. These tools don't actually draw, nor do they have a sense of understanding, it's purely an algorithm that takes your keywords, and layers stochastic noise that converges down path that have the strongest connections. It's not thinking and formulating new ideas, nor is it going through the process of drawing to have ideas blossom from the process. It simply regurgitates a mixed result that closely matches what it trained on, but that has enough layers of warping and mixing that you can't entirely tell. But it can't produce something very unique and specific like humans can, because we're conscious and have a vastly more complicated thought process, we don't merely sample from what we've seen, the process is much more complicated than that
When a generalized AI is made that actually could be classified as alive, like this video even mentions, then you can start arguing it can produce art the same way, but no not currently, not anywhere near it. What we have now is a glorified artwork laundering machine, and it's very unfortune.
brilliant video, great work, we need more people like y’all to help others understand the challenges and opportunities with a.I. better. D Pink was on this idea that workers should focus on adapting and creative problem solving as most of what can be automated will be. one observation I have as a designer myself and watching a.I. tools evolve is that the more you let a.I. work with your geometries ‘holistically’ the more they tend to look like forms from nature, and so we can get excited about how close the beauty of natural systems we may get some day but for whole new ideas, thus creating a new visual vocabulary in our infrastructure and landscape over time. If we don’t bite it, first.
The angle of perspectives done by AI is low vanishing point or VP in which it gives appeal, height and drama ( I am a animation layout artist ).
Very detailed and thorough content, the fun story made it even more enjoyable :) And that's something only humans can do :)
for now. Just ask people who work on AI and you will understand that it's just a question of time. This is not necessarily a bad thing as long as the right economic policy decisions are taken.
Most of the youtube comments are just people trying to reassure themselves.
For now
This video is actually scary for me as a designer. What you pointed out about the votes being done on a 'gut feeling' basis is the part that concerns me most. I feel like clients will soon input information about a site and AI will spew out something that "on a gut feeling" looks better to a client that anything I as a human can. I say this because as much as we as humans can improve our skill set, I feel that AI will only improve it's skill set much quicker. I'm already dealing with a client who "designed a house" on Revit after teaching himself the software from RUclips videos. If there is software that he doesn't need to learn or physically action himself that can produce good/great looking results, he would have bypassed me completely.
Well yea a.i like gpt is going to disrupt a lot of work, demand will go down sharp. Some fields like data analysis expected to drop 90% or more in 2 years. Because they can input all the data and gpt will spit it out in the way they asked. For now it writes scripts but gpt 4 with plugins or gpt 5 will do it as is. The only reason it hasnt yet is because people take months to catch up. It'll by 3-6 months until it explodes.
So, get better. Compete or be replaced.
There will still be a role for humans in confirming that designs make sense. Finding flaws.
The number of projects that are going to become feasible is going way up.
The number of homes that are going to be rebuilt in a few weeks or days by robots, relatively quietly, is going to soar.
I'm fairly sure gut feelings are you reaching into are the fuzzy probabilities these models can develop all the same. I used to draw pure abstract/aesthetic art through "gut algorithm"- this feels right, and i will make that a rule. I get the sense that real artists don't operate on the simple base objects I was and weren't consciously think about how they will logically compose it - instead I think their subconscous intuits using similar logic systems that I was consciously focusing on and just gives the distillation of it back. (And because I was conscious of it, I could only use it in the simplest sense, like the conscious is an expensive process slowing it down with all the exceptional checks.)
I am not an architect myself, but I started picking on these flaws immediately. A road that goes into the forest, pool surrounded with large trees, weird doors, dead space, etc. But it looks like they are 80% there and this is only because they haven't trained the model for architecture, but for fancy graphics.
Great video on many levels. Production, you are talk about the subject in very unique and educational way, leveling up a video production and acting part was very fun. Keep up the good work.
This is a really fantastic video. I only started using chatgpt in the last week and it has already improved my functionality and productivity as an interior architect & designer. If I can spend less time researching materials and finishes I feel better about the time I charge my clients.
Be careful, you need to check all information that ChatGPT gives you. ChatGPT doesn't know if things are right or wrong, it mixes up information etc.
just loving your channel. this video reminded me of a final project i had to design for a class. instructors loved it but thought it was kinda sci fi for the time. house built into a south facing slope (not near as steep) with solar panels connected to a geo thermal water system. had i known about led lighting i would have went with that as another energy saving feature. but this was in 1982 so most of these ideas weren't quite practical or obtainable at that time.
there i go ramblin on like an old retired guy. thanks for a good memory from a great video. keep up the great work.
oh yeah i fergot. ai did have a better looking presentation, but i noticed the oddness on the interior view.
Great video production, idea and execution!
As a footwear designer who didn't heed much to Architecture at all, you've opened up perspectives and a greater understanding of this creative world, thank you!
any tips for getting into the footwear design industry?
A footwear designer that looks down his nose at architects - that is rich!
Woww, thank you so much for making this video! You have such a light heated story telling and you really put me in high spirits with this video, it just made me think that my profession as a designer is very similar to yours as an architect! Yes, making things pretty is great but if form doesn't follow function then it's pointless! And yes, you don't just start at the pretty first, you start building it gradually with assumptions while respecting your constraints, that's what makes design great! It's challenging, creative, and you get to do pretty things at the end of the day, it's great, it's rewarding and I love it! I hope that one day I can be an architect as well, it just looks like loads of fun (but also very challenging!!!).
Love your video from the bottom of my heart, keep the great content coming! ❤😘
Such a great, though provoking video 👏 As an Interior Designer (with a background in natural language processing) it is the strong AI that both fascinates and frightens me. To what extent AI will generate human cognition in the future is the big question.
first video i watched and this is just amazing! im in love with the quality of the video, the script, the editing, the acting, the effort, everything!!! def subbing and watching more.
This video was so much fun to watch. Quality content!
The storyline of this video is immaculate 👏🏽
Kept me super engaged!
I wish I had your not having ADD. I didn't even know how to spell engaged anymore, thanks for reminding me.
Can't wait for the super wedding!
Well done, very nice cover of what AI can do at this point.
It's amazing how beautiful some of these images are, they feel like the final product.
I loved a few of them, I definitely can see myself in a house like the one at 12:02
It is amazing
Loved it great content as always and I loved your idea the best with the pool and video, killer.
What laptop would you recommend for an architect student?
Thanks @DamiLee ! Great video and content! I really loved the ending, where you broke down the ripple effects that become evident from the Conclusions of the video. I agree that AI will soon be replacing many jobs from a wide range of industries (creative, computer science, customer service, public transportation, etc, etc), but I'm still not sure if its a bad thing. It almost feels counterintuitive to consider, but how might a society flourish if all those jobs were replaced with AI? Would we stop partaking in those industries all together, or will they become more like personal hobbies that we work together with our personal "AI companion" to actualize?
For instance, if I love architecture today, I may consider going to school to become an architect as a profession; but in 50-100 years, that same person may decide to learn how to create renders like this, and work with their AI to build their dream home. Then maybe they desire to learn how to code-- the AI can recommend resources and even conjure a virtual professor to teach them how to program their robotic pet dog. Months later after created their very own robotic canine companion, they may move on to the next desired task or project.
In other words, humanity will continue to flourish in these categories like art, creative content, programming, etc, but they will do so on their own volition. The need for jobs will probably decline or disappear and, without the worry of making ends meet, humanity will have the ability to skip past the first 2 levels of Maslow's hierarchy and begin working on relationships, self-esteem and eventually self-actualize. The big question of AI taking over always surfaces, but what if we can make an accord with AI wherein it can run the world (regarding operating, maintaining, and expanding the infrastructure of AI/Human society) while we work together to create interstellar travel (this can only come from generations of harmonious relations with AI starting today). From there, we can leave Earth and leave AI to rule it, while humanity goes to the stars and civilizes multiple planets like Earth, hopefully treating any new life discovered with the same respect and grace as with a human. In a nutshell, this is my wish for the future of AI : an era where humanity is symbiotic with everything on Earth-- including the plants, animals, land, and AI. To make this a reality, maybe AI is the very savior our subconsciouses collectively sought throughout the generations of slowly destroying ourselves and our environments.
I pray comments like this will positively aid in the creation of AI's foundation, giving it content of humanity wishing for harmony rather than friction. Thanks for reading, open to anyone's thoughts:)
Congrats on the sponsor! I hope you'll return to this subject matter again soon with a more thorough analysis
This was truly interesting 🤔 Though, I have to say that I wasn't too enthused by the AI's plans/3D rendering. Everything basically looked the same compared to the regular architect's approach. All 3 options were so much more!! I can't wait so see more from you guys :)
You missed the point on this though. The AI was able to come up with those FINAL plans within hours (at most) whereas the team took 3 days to design their plans and still lost the competition. Architectural design projects take YEARS to complete. There are many phases of work. The part you missed is that the AI is able to blow through entire phases and complete the project is a significantly shorter time. If you and AI compete to complete drawings and the AI can do it 20x faster and produce the same result, the firm is hiring the AI and you are out of a job. Think..bigger
This was really enlightening, if a little terrifying. It does seem like AI has a ways to go, to be more than just pretty to look at. I am a graphic designer and artist and have been using AI for ideas, and rough layouts, and it has improved and sped up my work. But, things are moving really fast in AI, and I don't think it will be too long before many of my skills will be obsolete. However, I don't think AI will replace the feeling of creating an original hand-made piece of art. Thanks for the insights!
Very interesting! I have been very depressed with the AI advancements as a 3D artist, AI is already moving towards text2video generation at frightening speeds. I will probably be out of a job in 5 years. :( The last year has been particularly crazy considering I have used AI assisted software for YEARS.
likely not true, you might just get more assistance tools and as long as you're willing to learn to remain efficient by using the best tools available to you, you should be fine. There will be a space for artists, at least in the form of an art director.
@@phee3D the AI we have now wasn't even conceivable a few yrs ago. People still think "prompt engineering" will be a thing. Most artists will be replaced simply because most of the work will be automated. The demand for art directors isnt the same as the demand for ppl needed to do actual production.
Hell, I can already do much more things I couldn't do previously or would take muuuuch longer without AI. so its already happening.
@@VRTIXE this AI that is suddenly popular today was not only conceivable but also has been in use for more than a decade. The big difference that's happening now is that a lot of it has become open source and accessible resulting in all sorts of use cases such as image manipulation/generation and sound generation. Regardless, I do agree it's not possible to know where a technology might go. About what you said about prompt engineering, I think that will be gone far sooner than you think, it will only be used in ai models where a text based interface actually makes sense (such as a chat bot). Currently it's pretty funny how most interfaces are text based even if it's the worst possible interface, such as typing in a game engine or a 3d modelling tool to tell it what to do, rather than a sound based interface or some sort of automatic assister where it understands what you're trying to do and extrapolates interpolates your actions while also correcting any errors, I think we will see this soon (kind of like magic select in photoshop but far more advance and versatile)
WOW! This RUclips video has great production value! So glad I found this channel!
That's a pretty banging production and storytelling! Well done team! You are know both architects and media producers!
This reminds me of hand-drawn animation vs CG animation in the 90's. I was terrified I would be replaced by lifeless 3D geometric art. Alas that's not quite the case, I'm thriving right now. History repeats itself.
Did you learn CG animation?
It's always the same fear mongering each time a new technology gets released.
It's not the same! 3d is just another tool another technique but you still need to grow your animation skill which is really complex and takes many years. AI is not a tool it is a replacement for a skill which means that you can be an artist, animator, or anything else in 5 minutes and it is a completely different story.
It isn't the same and it isn't fear-mongering. Sufficiently advanced AI, and it is progressing maybe not exponentially, but at a very high pace, combined with robotics (see Boston Dynamics) will have the potential to replace any job and any skill. Robots will make it better, faster, cheaper, and more reliable/repeatable. No technology in the past was able to replace every job and skill in a such short time.
Sure, it might be an enabler, but we are sitting on an express train that goes faster and faster, and capabilities vastly outperform alignment (control) research. Nobody knows exactly how it works and why it does what it does. We don't even have time to look at what is ahead, because it means falling behind the other companies and countries who are pushing forward. We have pretty much one shot at getting AI right, because it will outpace us. When was the last time you got something complex right the first time? If anyone still doesn't see the risk, imagine a chimpanzee trying to control a human being.
NOT THE SAME THING
I loved the design You did, especially the pool... amazing....
Excellent video; thanks for having the courage to post it. We're still pretty much on track for the singularity to occur around or about 2045.
Let's hope it kills us all.
More like 2025
@@TalEdds funny thing is, i think 10 days ago that was a common prediction. Lol
Super interesting video! Only one thing stood out to me as missing in the conclusion.
The part 1 Floorplan was not used as a basis for the layout in part 2. It's easy to spot that the AI fails this part pretty bad. If I get a house made and the Floorplan is not the same as what is built then we have a problem.
That is the main problem I found with Midjourney late last year, might be better in 2023, it's easy to make new looks but really hard to iterate on a current idea. Fx. try make an image of an arch viz, and then only change the time of day, or move some trees, without changing anything else. I had a fun/frustrating few day to try and get Midjourney make a picture of a sword hilt, without the blade part.
I am sure it will get better with stuff like control net, but I think the way forward is to use AI for skipping the boring stuff and then let human pick the focal/context/finish.
In the floorplan case, the input should have been "from the floorplan, build a rendering etc etc". The greatest challenge with AI now is alignment, or "Which input does this damn thing need to give me what I want?" Training will get better with time, as will its understanding of basic parameters like "humans need doors to access places, windows for ventilation and view, light, insulation, water, electricity, gas, and so on and so forth. Specific architecture software will generate rough sketches that get less and less rough until they're "good enough" to be mass constructed. Within our lifetimes we'll have procedurally generated downloadable modular plans for entire neighbourhoods, and they'll get built. By the end of the century, human-made architecture will be a luxury or niche business, much like tailoring, painting, cabinetmaking...
Do the obvious thing and use AI during your brainstorming sessions, and maybe for render stylization. Best of both worlds. Awesome video, by the way.
Production of the video was Amazing!!! , and yes it is pretty scary AI but I don't know if at some point AI can replace Human Brain (intelligence and creativeness) and thought process
SIMPLE amd striaght to the point, great video i have spotted a leaned on ai to do my renders in inital design phase of a project, but i cant wait for ai like UPcodes.. being able to check a whole building against building regulations and continue doing your job. I feel ai will leave more for creativity in projects especially the forgotten project like disaster relief architetcure, affordable housing. etc
Fascinating video, very well done! I think AI will continue the trend of architectural skills being most valuable at higher levels of decision making. Skills like great drafting or hand sketching were replaced by CAD 2D which was replaced by 3D database systems like Revit. Try to explore guided AI- chose a concept like your cantilever plan, ask AI as your assistant to develop many options, then edit and develop those to give the AI better functional rules about door swings etc. Train the AI like you would an intern: ‘ Every bedroom must have a closet, size ___, and an operable window size___, etc. The architect with the most thoroughly trained AI will have the best leverage value on their time. AI seems perfect for linking a library of construction details with design. For example if you design a balcony you will need a balcony rail detail, and if you choose a glass rail or a steel cable rail AI can do that from a library. The future of architects is in higher level thinking and idea generation and client interaction, if your current job skill is inputting Revit data you will be replaced. Every office used to have someone whose skill was manually drawing perspective renderings, now no one does.
I agree. To be honest, most AIs today are just "stealing" other ideas. Put the same prompts into Google images and you'll probably come up with a picture of a house that meets any brief. It's no different than people leveraging libraries of pre-designed house plans. But these pre-designed house plans don't account for things like how a client spends their day, what the demands are for seasonal events, the "special" moments that make a custom house unique. The specialized AI of the future will be able to be taught, like an architecture student, in learning what questions to ask the client and what questions to ask of the environment in which the house will be placed. But who will do the teaching? Who will help the AI learn to challenge boundaries and come up with new and innovative ideas? That will be the role of the architect.
Oh, and I hope someone at some point will be able to train an AI to perform basic permitting approvals at lightning speed. :) THAT would revolutionize the industry.
@@catabyte Agree! I think that right now, AI can look at 1000 “kitchen” plans and produce a reasonable composite, but higher-level AI will need to learn ( and remember, not just reference) how humans use “kitchens” and how using that space to prepare coffee and toast, vs a microwave meal, vs a holiday dinner for 12 people, vs a place to do homework or just have a conversation. Each of these functions needs slightly different space, equipment, and attributes- for example good traffic flow or a quiet corner with a window for breakfast tea.
The only strange part about this idea is that you think an architect is even needed for this at all. An AI can replace that too
Hi Dami
Loved your video, very exciting, what AI software program was used to generate the AI design?
I am very interested in the possibilities.
Breaking News Alert: It was leaked that DamiLee is an AI entity herself. Very, very clever indeed.
I ❤ how you take your channel to the next level with each new video release. Brilliant. 🎉
I personally think this challenge should have been designed on the EXACT SAME site location. Because when people ask an architect/s to design a house, they usually (dare I say always) have a site already picked out. Then, and ONLY then, would you be able to say you have a clear winner based on reality. As of now, you have two totally different ficticious sites that can trick the viewer into 'thinking' one is better than the other simply based on the final picture...which is what most people probably do.
But with that said...I really did like the video.
great approach!Currrently I am a HR BP and use AI a lot for those basic reports we have to deliver all the time.
Funny that I can still recognize Dami’s talking patterns even under that voice changer 😂
I did too. She has a very distinct intonation and inflection pattern. Very engaging but hard to hide.
Agreed.
These AI generated homes are impressive, and the fact AI can gen an multitude floorplans and renderings quickly is powerful. I do believe these will become the base templates for Architects to choose, then alter and personalize. The real work will become prompting the AI and developing software that can process topographical maps to build upon challenging landscapes. As for now, I like the human design better, because of the way it works with the landscape. The pool really needs a diving board.
Believe it or not, turminator land, the matrix land, will be created..soon
True ❤
The problem with AI is that its using numerous images of original work and merging it to generate newer results without the owners knowledge and their consent and I think that someday if the policies of creative websites like Behance , lemanoosh , pinterest, artstation and Deviantart change then we are totally screwed and I also think that the creators of Ai's will be targeting those areas in the coming years..
@@kennedymasihi1965 your raise a really important ethical dilemma. It would be wise for AI companies to build in a citation page from which the art was derived from. Even if that Citation is a seeming endless script, at least there would be visibility from which the art was generated.
That's how it's going to work until the AI becomes more capable and completely replace us
This was the best response to AI that I have seen, it's well thought out about the benefits and shortcomings and what future development might bring.
Loved how you depicted gen-1 as a baby, speaking of which, gen-2 was basically just announced so it turned out pre-scient in a way.
Really interesting thoughts..I'm not an Architect but a Software Engineer, that most probably will be replaced by AI in a mater of 2 - 3 years at most, so right now, just to try to be competitive (with other 800K - 1500K SW Engineers around the world ) I need to quickly learn about data science and machine learning, and of course there will be some work/projects for engineers with my current background, but that for sure will be very scarce. So I think that I could look for some areas in which human creativity or the need for human appreciation/intervention will be needed , for instance teach/learn how to dance, look for the best advice/example on how to improve a person behavior in hos/her relationship with others, how to avoid conflict between nations, towns or groups, look for the best donor of a kidney or the best way to improve the relationship with a son or how to regenerate natural resources. With those objectives in mind and the AI as a tool for improve humanity and nature for sure there will be plenty of things to do in the future!
Wow what a video... First time saw a video of this channel and its mindblowing, content and production is perfect
Like many things, if used responsibly, it can benefit us. Great video, thank you.
It won't be.
@Big-Ass Red Bird"what about jobs that can't be done by AI!" If the general company or field can offload enough. You can bet your bottom dollar that the rest of it will also be offloaded to the cheapest possible option in a landscape where the field becomes narrowed. Re: offshore manufacturing.
DamiLee AND Daniel Titchener - YES!! The collab I didn't think I needed
This is a topic that I wish to explore in my current post grad studies in architecture. The idea of Architects vs AI. My only take away from all this is whether AI can create emotional architecture. What I mean by this is when you look at the works of Mies, Lloyd Wright etc etc. Some of these works were created almost 100 years ago and we still refer to them today and draw inspiration from them. No matter how advanced AI can become in this field, it will always lack the emotional attribute that an architect can add to a space they design because they are humans.
I’m just mesmerized watching you explain everything 😊
Great job! Love how you used D5 Render😊and we do believe talented architects with great tools are indispensable after watching your video.
Excellent ! looking forward to your next updates
Agree!
Great tool to work with!
Should try it sometime!
I’ve switched to D5 from Vray and Lumion, now it’s the only rendering tool for my team and it also helps us with conceptual design, the real-time experience is awesome. Hope we will see AI integration in D5 in the near future 😆
First of all, this is a beautifully produced video and I appreciated the Mr. Robot font you used! ^^ But to put this into perspective - this is not what an architects work mainly looks like. Concept creation takes up far more time and in reality, it's not just creating 3 things that look cool and then picking one - much more goes into it. You have to consider the customers wishes, structural requirements and much much more. At least that is as far as I can tell as an interior architecture student. From what I've seen and heard so far, the rendering part is extremely time-intensive and is often outsourced to firms who specialise in it. I have worked in offices where they worked exclusively in 2D programs and did not do any renderings, and it does not mean the outcomes are any less good! Those AI-renderings sure looks amazing, but will they work as a building? Will they meet the requirements? Do they have a concept or do they just look pretty on the surface and fall apart on deeper inspection? There is loads of things, especially in communication, that I am sure can not be replaced by AI. So I am definitely not worried for my future job, in case that's what anyone was taking away from this. Actually I think it could be of great help to use an AI for getting inspiration or a general idea, but it will always have to be humans who really work out the details and the big picture.
I guess you add all those concepts into your prompts, add the much needed human touch to it, and you have a winner? :)
@@daviddegaye164 I don't think it's that simple. Maybe you can use AI for winning a competition and creating rough concepts. But when actually planning a building, it's a long process with a lot of revisions and aspects to be considered. At some point I imagine entering loads of precise variables is slower than finding a solution yourself.
@@honey5236 It was purposefully simplistic. :) I'm not sure I'm with you on "loads of precise variables is slower than finding a solution" though.
I do understand your perspective: building design is indeed a very personal and artistic process, making it difficult to fully automate. But I believe that, as technology continues to advance exponentially, AI can become a very valuable tool/assistant in the field, helping architects and designers explore new possibilities, fine-tune and optimize solutions, and enhance their creativity rather than "replace" it.
The key would be to strike a balance between human expertise and AI's huge potential.
Honey Could not agree more with your reasoning. Congratulations for being so young yet so wise.
Thank you so much for this resolution. this is a really good content.
Amazing video Dami! Pls tell how much time did you spend to create this video from script till final montage?
I'm a self employed graphic designer and I love your channel - mostly for entertainment so far, but this one ist special and an eye opener. I can't thank you enough for that.
WHO AXED
Awesome collab! Tbh there could've been more effort into the floor plans from the humans 🤣

Sundar P (CEO at Google) and Sam Altman (Ceo at OpenAI) said that they expect AGI to be established by the end of 2023.
If they are right, you are right. Not that we are far away from it, but that as employees "We are pretty much screwed".
It's time to join the Luddites.
A collab with Danieeeeeel!!
He was like the second interior designer RUclipsr that I found out and really liked after the video you made about Joma's house redesign. You, him and DearModern (Cliff Tan) are my primary source of learning
I've been working on a big project since mid 2021 and I had to pospone it to learn and take advantage of AI. It's like having a team of experts in any matter available to you. I had to rebuild and I have rethought integral parts already and I want to be using them in pretty much every department from the very beginning when its released.
The future looks awesome and this video (when seen entirely) will allow a lot of people to see in a practical case what AI is capable and not capable of doing at the moment. I would love to see something like this in six months, things are moving quickly 😳
I loved the concept of the video but at the end it felt short and i don't know if people that are more foreign to the state of AIs right now will understand the value of accessing the Research Booklet you attatch
Thanks for the short film! It was a lot of fun
AI no doubt will replace most of the jobs in the digital space. I'm currently making a game right now with the help of ChatGPT. And it really does well as a tool for programmers. I think the direction here is to be AI technicians that utilizes AI tools for your advantage. Making work flow fast and easier. Great video! 🙏☺️
All physical, design, calculation, and simulation can be automated.
We used to think it was only possible to replace physical labour, but this made non physical labour vulnerable
@@ayoCC absolutely. We thought AI is not capable of creativity. Guess we thought wrong. 😅
@@blackcitadelstudios It's not capable of creativity at all seeing as it's a human that has to put the input and it takes from already made human creations.
@@sayitasis8326 i dunno. Humans too make things from inspiration of other creative media.
@@blackcitadelstudios there is difference humans are inspired they adapt then they create their own out of it while Ai is Just a mess of various different pictures that is available as a form of data
2 things I got out of this video:
1) I agree with you that at this point AI can be used to our advantage; it's more of an assistant to architects than a competitor. It's a bit like what JARVIS was to Tony Stark before it evolved.
2) AI doesn't play yet the critical social role architects do. By this I mean that among the many roles architects play, they need ensure that their design takes into account account social dynamics by interacting with people during their site analysis process. I don't yet see how AI can do that, especially when it is immaterial and doesn't yet understand veru well human emotions.
Good job on the video, it cool and insightful.
Great video, thanks! I think that in architecture as well as in many knowledge-intensive professions, professionals can promote themselves to a higher position or at least to higher tasks.
For example, think of all the tasks in a job as an army, with soldiers, captains, colonels, generals, etc.
All the soldier-level tasks (boring, repetitive, etc.) can be taken over by AI, thus freeing up time for the professional to do general-level tasks (which involve abstractions, client relations, integration, etc.).
Andrej Karpathy, for instance, says that 80 percent of his programming tasks are now done by AI.
Ultimately, if everyone has access to ChatGPT, midjourney, stabilitydiffusion, etc. how will they compete for jobs or contracts?
Presumably, employers/clients will choose the one who can do it faster/better/cheaper. But since everyone has AI "superpowers", everyone can do it faster and cheaper. So better will remain the chief hiring criteria.
"Better" as in "satisfying the particular explicit and implicit requirements of the client." Thus, the non-AI tasks (ascertaining client needs, negotiating, etc.) will become crucial.
You're so genuine and funny. New love follower.
And maybe in ten years AI would replace us, if we keep telling AI what's wrong with it, AI will learn how to deal with it.
I really liked the cantilevered design with the atrium, what were some of the reasons why that option didn't make the cut?
Main reason being it isn’t very practical or long lasting as these structures are prone to failure over relatively shot periods of time.
Wait until you discover what you can do with Stable Diffusion ControlNet and Latent Couple, you could basically take a screenshot of your 3D model (without any textures) and then using ControlNet it can detect the depthmap in the image and using Latent Couple you can assign materials to each part of the image separately using 2D masks, combine the two and you will be instantly able to create countless renders of your model from any angle and in any styles you could possibly imagine within a couple of mins, it's absolutely groundbreaking.
And while the idea of a competition between human architects and A.I is fun to test the limits of the tech it won't the case in the real world, in the end it will be architects and artists who learn to use the A.I as a tool properly who will be irreplaceable.
thats nonsens :)
@@3D_PROO All I could say is cope harder XD
Hermoso video! Pienso que las leyes y normativas de cada país tendrán que saber como ajustarse rápido a estos avances tecnológicos. Que actúen como reguladoras y se defina bien hasta qué limites llegar, y tener lineamientos sobre cómo facilitar a las personas esta transición inevitable.
I personally didn't know what you were having us vote on. Like "is she asking if we prefer drawn floor plans over renders?" or " these dialogues feel like they're describing the same thing; is she asking which writing style we prefer?" were big questions I had during voting. If I had known what was being tested, I would've given drastically different answers.
I'm a student of digital art, I've made a lot of progress in the last year, but there's still a lot to learn. My biggest doubt with these AI's is whether it's worth continuing to study, as I'm still in the middle of the process. It's a little distressing for me. I'll learn about AI's too.
Core Fact: Your subconscious mind can out create this thing. Tap into that and do this like I did when a friend told me. Ask for the Gift of Creativity and watch your life change. I did and now it is about to show. Good Luck
@@digitalBrandingScreensavers Thanks! I will try to think about it!
Why not use the AI as a complementary tool, you can do alot of work, both better and faster. Also, small details will always need a human eye.
@@PJxpanterx Well said but in all reality (in my opinion) we are all ChatGPT's and here's why. Humans created this humans can cut it off. Our sub conscious mind is and can create things worlds ect.. Look at how tech evolved to this point, do you think this is going to stop? NO Today's Chat GPT4 can be yesterdays news. Look at Blockchain now its on the back burner. This is a "Slip this in there disruption". Just my opinion Respect your comment.
@@PJxpanterx Yeah, is a good idea, I'm trying to learn something about it and I already use the midjourney and the stable diffusion
very brilliant how you guys ask what do we think about replacement from AI and how do we imagine, the most exqsusite way of collecting data to improve or build something innovative on your own based on that or mabye even data for machine learning to make mabye an AI project.Its sooo impressive, more than the architecture than you do in that studio, the architecture of data training
Thanks so much! This video was a well done and a lot of fun. From watching the video, I did prefer the Human design over the AIs. As a seasoned architect, I could easily see that the plans don't work and the siting was not as well considered as your design. It's pretty clear that AI is a great tool for augmenting the creative process, but, at least at this point, they can't replace us. What if you had the AI render your design and edit your description? I'm curious to see who would win then...
I am curious to see what an audience of architects would rate this competition. I feel that there was more charm to the human team, whereas AI designs look a little more 'cut and paste'. Just my two cents worth as an architecture student.
I have used both midjourney and Dall-e and you would go through a bunch of options before getting anything like they show here :) also, the architects version is a 3D model and the AI version is just a 2d image. Last but not least, produce a set of construction documents MR AI :) And as a design-build contractor, I will gladly let AI deal with pesky clients while I build lol
I've been waiting for a video like this! well done
This video cracks me up!
I design custom homes in Colorado all day long. Sloped sites are the norm. In real life, roofs and walls are very complex. I model four different roofs, structure/envelope, eaves, cold roof, finish roof; just to account for the differences in materials. There is no such thing as a concrete mass wall, that doesn't meet energy code!
What the AI does so well is schematic design where real-world restrictions don't really apply. What it can not do is meet complex codes that sometimes conflict.
Additionally, no company is going to create an AI that can produce drawing details or specifications because no company would be stupid enough to accept liability for such. That will remain the domain of professionals (unfortunately).
I love the prospects of AI. To be able to fast-track floor plan generation, to be able to offer a client 20 exterior options with one click, and to create renderings with verbal prompts. Yes, it will replace what architects and renderist love to do. But for a guy like me, schematic design is where we lose money, and the constant evolution of obfuscatory codes is where we make a living.
We thrive where AI says, "What?"
AI seems like tool to bring unique and professional projects to everyone. Collaboration between AI and Architects is the right way.
That means soon everyone will be able to do everything so no experts will be needed in any matter...
@@ArneHB I dont know, we will see
