> get some real world skills finally, as those aren't yet replaced by frontier AI.
I would not bet on our physical skills that much. The models are coming after the carpenters real hard.

Now we are starting to see that computers can take on some of the tasks that require manipulation and understanding of concepts. The barrier to realizing ai actions in the physical world is the robots to make it happen, but there's no strong technical reason right now that would prevent this.
Sure. You may have decades of intuition around managing trades but when 1/2 those trades get rewritten because the robots do them better that intuition will become a liability instead of an asset. Simple stuff like you advising your client where to put the house or how expensive an option will be will become out of touch with the real world once the robots change how things are done.
Robots won't care about working day or night. Robots won't care if the day before you start building you completely redo your plans. Robots will have an internalized representation of the project schedule that's always accurate and will have more attention to stay ahead of delays. Robots will be able to work more precisely, so they will be able to pre drill and layout all the runs for the electrical, plumbing, etc. Robots will be able to use their infinite compute to use materials more efficiently. Robots will be more in tune with all the regulations so there will be less surprises at inspection stages. Robots won't make the rude comments to neighbors and owners that give construction workers a bad rap.
You may or may not adopt the robots, but the guy that does will steal all your work because he will be able to promise better results and lower cost and faster delivery.
Get into carpentry because you enjoy it, not because you think it'll be a lifeboat!
Exactly my original point.
