The idea is nice, and the results are certainly striking, but seems like a stopgap measure. Assuming this involves making CAD drawings of every brick placement, that work should be done by an algorithm, with a human doing fine-tuning if needed. And of course, as others pointed out, if we know the exact position of every brick, the bricklaying would be perfect work for a robot. No need for a master mason if brick positions are decided by an engineer (or computer). Current-era economics will incentivize this transition (assuming the cost of labor does not fall radically and long-term): Using a robot may not reduce the construction time appreciably, but it would move the cost from a salary expense to a capital expense. Capital will continue to be very available in the low-interest economy.
