> We’re getting sued for the homes we built that have unreachable floors and outdoor facing windows placed inscrutably on load bearing interior walls but I feel really good about our legal defense

This seems oddly specific, has this already happened in real life?

Not in the sense of an architect actually building a generative AI blueprint. But transformer ANNs are simply incapable of designing physically plausible construction plans. Theoretically, not being able to solve graph connectivity seems like a big issue. Empirically, not being able to count is a fatal flaw.

Thank you for capturing the state so eloquently. I've asked Bard about how to dilute hydrogen peroxide from 10% (do not touch) to 3% (medical) while producing a specific quantity of the dilute... Results were harmful.

This is happening a lot in Australia, very dodgy builders resulting in illegal (from the building code) houses. Some are unsafe, others are failing apart way quicker due to the shortcuts taken.

There have been some gen ai architecture design tools posted here with such flaws. They were not so bold as to call them construction plans.

GroverhausAI, coming to a neighborhood near you soon!

I read it as obviously and entirely tongue-in-cheek.
