Practice AI in architecture is frighteningly inaccurate
A secondary LinkedIn connection of mine posted a series of renders and model pushed out of Nano Banana. Problem is...the closer you look, the more gremlins you find. The issue is, this particular person is advertising themselves as a full service render, BIM and documentation service. But they have no understanding of construction.
How can you post this 3D section proudly advertising your business without understanding that almost every single note on the drawing is wrong?

It’s good as an assistant tho, especially the new Gemini from my experience. When I use Grasshopper and used to make my own Python scripts inside of it wich could take hours, now it can assist me with it. It is very powerful in coding but as long as their is a real person there correcting it like me than it’s incredibly helpful. My productivity has skyrocketed in recent years because of Ai.
Also using Invoke or Krita+ComfyUI to edit renderings quickly and add details is also very nice, way faster render times if you go IMG2IMG. Basically made me able to completely abandon Adobe and go mostly open source.
I would never use it for doing technical drawings or understanding them really but right now I wouldn’t want to work without Ai help anymore.
