What construction jobs are unironically literally AI-proof? I'm realizing that once they can combine AI with advanced robots we may actually be fucked. Probably still a while away but it could happen in our lifetime.

literally anything built on site and not in a controlled factory environment

But see that's the issue. Say you're trying to cut rafters to fit against a ridge beam and you concrete slab is 1/2" out of level, meaning that your wall framing was 1/2" out of level, meaning that your rafters on one side of the ridge beam are all going to be slightly too short or slightly too long. Even now an AI can figure out exactly how to fix this issue without changing the pitch of the roof significantly. Once we have robots that can actually move in complex ways then the technology takeover of the trades will literally be unstoppable.

Foundation/Concrete workers, all houses will be prefabricated in the future but they still need the foundation to put it on site

Any remodeling work at all.
Most construction really. I guess robos could automate making those huge warehouses. At least the walls.

To add to this: if your build is end-to-end robots, your slab probably isn't going to be 1/2" out of level to begin with

virtually all of them, because there's no reason to buy a five million dollar robot to do a job someone will take $30k-$80k a year to do

The future of housing is 3D-printed builds and SIPs. Anything structural is doomed. Most of second fix is doomed. I think electricians and plumbers will be OK but their role will be reduced to mating up pre-designed systems that ship from the factory. A humanoid robot isn't going to hang your drywall, a massive pick'n'place is going to do that and then just put all your walls on a truck and ship it to you.

Give pajeet a break. I see prefab walls and trusses shipped in to build people are too stupid to frame. It's only a matter of time before osb is no longer the cheapest, then some Lego style shittier product becomes standard and even cheaper labor puts it together. The only thing cheaper than illegal subs will be subsidized solar MIT bots.

>there's no reason to buy expensive robots
They do it all of the time faggot, it pays for itself in the long run. Chinks have entire factories ran by nothing but robots, they've even started shitting out entire houses already, and these are rather dumb robots, ai be damned. Imagine once they've figured out how to replace the remaining workers

There's a literal cardboard product called thermoply, it's been around for decades. It's around 1/8" thick and designed to replace sheathing. It didn't see widespread use among contractors because they didn't know about it, but with the advent of the internet that's been starting to change recently. A lot of the newer homes are being built with this shit nowadays

Why do they have so many signs in English?
Also, if it's automated, why do they have signs?

This is literally what I just described to you. I wasn't idly speculating, I was telling you what I knew was coming down the line.

Industrial electrician/controls tech.

Construction is a race to the bottom. it's stupid to want to do it for a living because the work is cyclic tracking the economy.

Not for decades and even than not globally.
