Chapter 1 - The chatbots obviously deserve #1 in our list. Grappling with AI chatbots is unquestionably leading into the primary potential of Artificial Intelligence. So far we have been shying away from probing too deep into the capabilities of LLM’s and focused on finding practical applications to help with our day to day work as architects and planners. Chatbots are giving probabilistic answers based on specific training data. In planning however we require specific and often precise metric results and not vague approximations.

Our Tests

▶️ Terms and Conditions

One of the first - and for us most conclusive - evaluation we have executed back in January 2024. In this first assessment we have established, that none of the services we reviewed would accept liability for the answers generated. In that sense we can assess that AI will struggle with taking over any engineering profession. In the end it is accountability that forms the basis of our work as architects and planners. And formulating answers that might be right but that need checking for context and consistency are generally of little use in our line of business.
