I feel like bricks were probably shaped the way they are today specifically to help bricklayers do a good job easily and quickly. If we're moving to automated wall building maybe using traditional brick is just a waste of effort. Automation will probably benefit from using different shapes or materials. For example a human can't handle a 30 pound brick but a machine might be a lot faster if you use larger bricks with different mortar configurations.
