I realize this is probably being excessively pessimistic, but couldn't this end up making the work of the skilled trades as soulless and boring as routine assembly line work?
That is to say, whenever there is a discussion of the skilled trades on Hacker News it is mentioned that they often take as much thinking and creativity as white collar jobs. It seems like this sort of technology could change that in at least some situations.

Part of the craft is being able to execute well, and like the article says if this tool helps people do harder stuff more easily, we can end up going towards even more complex designs to compensate.
