    Architect here. Many of us are cooked. Asking a generalized model to spit out something legible will certainly yield these kinds of results. However, much of architecture, like many other fields, is based on facts driven by codes and prescriptive values. Those can be learned and easily maintained over time. Tools like Finch, Hypar, TestFit, and many others are attempting to streamline so so much of the design process. They’re also removing a tremendous amount of tedium, sure, but in doing so they are preventing the next generation of designers from becoming masters of the craft. It’s pretty discouraging, because you either keep up with the times by using these tools aimed at eliminating your entire career field, or you can boycott them and lose out on work.
