Will AI replace architects and civil engineers?

June 18, 2023

AI will not replace architects-engineering (AE firms) any time soon. AI is already assisting and augmenting the capability of AE professionals worldwide. This trend will continue growing and expanding within the next three decades. This is the time to jump into the AI "train". Opportunities abound and there will be more opportunities every single day in the next thirty years. 

Architects design and plan buildings and other real property structures. Architects apply technical knowledge, creativity, and expertise to design functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces that meet applicable regulations, code requirements, and client needs. Architects start by developing a concept or idea for a building. They consider factors such as the purpose of the structure, its location, the available resources, and any relevant regulations and building codes. Architects then create detailed drawings and specifications that outline the design, materials,  construction methods, estimated costs, and all relevant concerns to make the project a viable reality. 

During the construction phase, architects may visit the site to ensure that the project is being executed according to the design and specifications. Architects also help answer questions from owners and construction companies regarding building features. Architects collaborate with builders, contractors, and other professionals involved in the construction process to address any issues that arise. Overall, architects are responsible for designing safe, functional, sustainable, and visually appealing buildings that meet the needs of their clients while considering factors such as legal compliance, aesthetics, sustainability, and budgetary constraints.

Civil engineers plan and oversee the construction of real property and infrastructure projects. Civil engineers work on a variety of projects, such as buildings, roads, bridges, buildings, dams, airports, water supply systems, and so on. Civil engineers match intrinsic project needs and requirements with extrinsic factors such as site conditions, environmental impacts, and community needs.  Civil engineers assess engineering elements such as structural loads, drainage patterns, traffic flow, environmental impact of materials, sustainment needs, energy usage, etcetera to ensure that construction work meets requirements and is compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and codes. 

During the construction phase, civil engineers work closely with construction teams, including architects and specialized trade subcontractors, to ensure that the project is executed according to the design and specifications. They monitor progress, address any issues that arise, and make any necessary adjustments to the plans. 

Both architects and civil engineers play a crucial role in creating and maintaining the real property infrastructure that is essential for modern day life. In the United States, architects and civil engineers must be licensed. To be eligible for a professional license, architects and engineers need to complete years of study, complete apprenticeships, and pass rigorous exams. After all, there is a great responsibility associated with the designs completed by architects and the implementation work performed or overseen by civil engineers. 

AI will not replace architects-engineering (AE firms) within the next three decades. The next three decades will be the Golden Age of AI where AI will augment (without fully replacing) professions. A-E will not be an exception. A-E firms today are already leveraging the capabilities of specialized AI applications. The industry is still in its infancy. There is plenty of opportunity to jump into the AI train, and benefit greatly from AI in the next three decades.

Will Tariffs Reduce the National Debt?

Creatix / June 30, 2025 The U.S. national debt has surpassed $34.7 trillion , and the cost of servicing that debt— just the interest payments—has soared to over $1 trillion annually as of mid-2025. This marks a historic shift: we now spend more just paying interest on the National debt than on defense, Medicare, or any single discretionary program. Economists warn that unless fiscal policy changes, interest costs will crowd out critical investments in infrastructure, education, and innovation, deepening the structural debt burden for future generations. From Osama to MAGA OBBA: the path to U.S. bankruptcy. Osama Bin Laden "succeeded" in putting us in a path to bankruptcy. The U.S. national debt began to increase dramatically after 9/11, marking a sharp departure from the budget surpluses of the late 1990s. In response to the terrorist attacks, the U.S. launched costly wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, while also implementing sweeping tax cuts under the Bush administration. These...

Chinese AI Robots Everywhere By the 2050s: Are you Ready?

Creatix / November 8, 2026 AI Robots Everywhere by the 2050s: Are You Ready? By the 2050s , artificial intelligence and robotics could merge into the most transformative household revolution since electricity. Analysts forecast trillions in market value for humanoid and service robots, and billions of units operating globally. The question isn’t if they’ll be everywhere—it’s whether we’re ready for it. The 2050s Robot Boom By mid-century, expect AI robots to clean, cook, carry, and even care. Thanks to exponential progress in AI reasoning, computer vision, and robotics hardware , the machines we see today in factories or labs will become accessible home companions. Costs will plummet as production scales, while software will learn from vast shared data networks—meaning every robot gets smarter as one learns. Economic studies suggest the global humanoid-robot market could exceed $5 trillion by 2050 , transforming domestic life, eldercare, and even education. What smartphones did f...

When will the Tesla bubble burst?

December 11, 2024 When will the Tesla bubble burst?  We don't know Fools rush in. It's impossible to know exactly when the Tesla bubble will finally burst. Unfortunately for us at Creatix, we began shorting Tesla too soon. We are down almost 40% on our position as of today. We are not fooling ourselves thinking that we were ever make money on the short position. We truly doubt that Tesla can go down 40% any time soon.  We would love to add to the short position, but it would exceed our $3,000 limit on the stupid bets that we do for fun. We're not Mr. Beast. We have a very limited budget for ridiculousness. We would love to short Tesla tomorrow morning at the ridiculous share price of $424. Tesla is trading at an incredible 116 times earnings, which gives Tesla a market capitalization of $1.32 Trillion. Elon Musk added today $13.4 billion to his fortune. Yes, $13 billion in one day. Yesterday, he had added $11 billion. Yes, that's $24 billion in 2 days.  Six months ago, ...
