PeteMorris Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Its not hands on, but "coding". I don't dispute it, but isn't there already significant advances with Artificial Intelligence? It's not too far a leap for 'coding' to be done by computer...Is it?

So you need to be a fat prostitute in your spare time and an undertaker in the daytime?..That should sort it then...:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hahaha....Yes I know the UK is probably a different kettle of fish, in moving an entire house. Could feasibly be done by air I suppose?...Not altogether cheap, but maybe, I dunno. 'Kit' houses are indeed popular and viable, and presumably will get ever more easier to construct...A bit like flatpack furniture...eventually... So the upshot of this presumably will be less reliance on skilled 'brickies' and the more traditional 'chippy'...In other words certain skill requirements will decline! Putting the kit houses together isn't exactly unskilled. Although as you say it often doesn't require any brick laying. ---------- Post added 16-02-2016 at 16:30 ---------- I don't dispute it, but isn't there already significant advances with Artificial Intelligence?

To have software write more software would require it to be able to read natural English, parse meaning from the vagaries of what is written, clarify it with the business analyst or customer and THEN design and write the software in question.

L00b Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Any job or profession which routinely requires a high level of abstraction for analysis and problem-solving purposes/performance is a strong contender. Off the top of my head, programming is one, engineering/designing (most tech fields) is another, complex legal practice yet another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteMorris Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 There are no real AI's that can write code yet. There's the 'key' word...'yet' But maybe in 20 years...or maybe even 10...Who knows what might emerge...I remember when I was a kid, we used to actually press a button on the TV to turn it on and off or adjust the volume!

psynuk Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 There's actually very little automation involved in most of the housing trades. Plumbing, electrics, plastering, brick laying, construction of all kinds, joinery, etc... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg3K-rFUw7U two down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECCOnoob Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Yeah, and both machines in the clips involve human input. Not exactly a revolution yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psynuk Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 well all machines require human input, but it'snot hard to imagine that plastering machine driving itself to site sizing up a room with lazers, doing it's thing and driving off. ditto for the paint spraying machines.
