Maybe an integration where we use it to show a client a design or how which wood would be better.
If you ask me whether they'll replace my job, I heavily doubt it, however I do believe AI will be useful to both carpenters and clients alike.
I'd like to see a robot put breakers into an electrical panel, lay tile in a tight bathroom, hang a cabinet, or install a four-piece crown moulding.
Sure, you can get a 3D-printed concrete house, but you still have to run electrical and plumbing, among other things.
I don't see it happening.
AI and ML are here to stay, and I believe the jobs that are created from the advancement of technology will far outweigh the losses. There will also be better jobs that give us a better quality of life.
Don't forget, we'll be building differently with 3D printing.
Some tasks could be replaced but it will likely be a while before robots fully replace human carpenters.
Skirting Architrave handrails will all be pre cut your already starting to see it now so Everything will be pre fab inevitably the pay scale will just go down and down
What happens when we can't do a job then we can't make money to support us.
There are few carpenters left like me I never feel when the economy, tanks
Every job is different, from the setting/location, weather, what and how the client wants, improvising and changing cuts/plans/drawing based on the house/job. No carpenter has ever made a cut without accounting for errors in the house from previous construction.
robots might replace carpenders, electricians, plummers, and all these trades. BUT it will not be easy, like at all. would you hire a robot to do the job a human can do, but worse?
there's just too many variables involved on a day to day basis, not to mention robotics is pretty far away from having viable robots that can actually do the work.
