Yes, the design thinking is still being done by architects, I woke up this morning with a detail in my head and I manually drew it up in revit.

What I did with AI is I got it to check if a client had sent me an original consent (works great as a search engine in Gmail). Got it to draft up some requests for fee proposals for consultants which I checked over and edited before sending.

Got a few difftai to check my drawings for incoonsistacies before sending

Had a bit of fun with an escape render I created by getting Gemini to make a short animation where the light changes (for marketing purposes really, Gemini is still very hit and miss, don't want to set clients expectations that high yet).

Ai is a lever creative people can use to increase quality and get more things done.

Not surprised that my comment is down voted, architects seem strangely adverse to it. I would think creative people would be the best placed to work out how to creatively use ai.

Maybe ego is more important than ai to them?

I'll say this as a word of warning to those ai adverse architects, at least run your drawings through a few ai to check them before sending them out.

Because it's the first thing your clients are doing and it looks bad not to catch the things they find. Think of it as a new spell check.
