If so, it will end up just like 3d printed houses - not worth optimizing.

this hot take is more important than we all think. While adding features is more optimised than ever (e.g. auto software development) many systems and processes are fairly optimised already. Many agent implementations I have seen don't optimise the process but replicate/automate it. This has made me think that some things are already optimised, there is always room for improvement but those gains might not weigh up always in the race use AI for everything.

This said optimization is a multi-dimensional problem space.

While the process may not be directly cheaper with AI it may side step other problems that profit seekers run into, like people wanting days off or pesky things like human rights.

This seems to assume 3d printed homes will never develop technology that makes them superior to conventional homes ... can you see the future?
