Huh, I thought it was a bit weird that the building inspector had changed company on one of our projects…
Seems like a thing the government *should* maybe consider stepping in to address - not to bail out the company but to support the pipeline by protecting frontline workers - given how close this is to a key priority
This is not good

A contract manager from quite a high end contractor was telling me that they have a client who keeps telling them that ChatGBT says they should do something (e.g. change waterproofing details) and he keeps having to say “I’m very sorry but we have to build in accordance with building regs”
Was talking to an interior designer who uses AI a lot now, and she thinks it made her more productive for a month, and now all the time she has gained not doing drawing herself is spent telling clients “ok, but the thing you’ve got AI to make for you will rip out the wall”.
It has rapidly become the norm for things created by AI to be the dumbest shit you have ever seen.
