Nah, tradespeople will be replaced with lego buildings, the same way that furniture makers were replaced with ikea

  Will that happen faster than the shift of AI into knowledge work? Because the current trajectory has robots taking our "manipulate bits" jobs far faster than our "move atoms" ones.

    Who knows. On the one hand there have been attempts to get rid of the "manipulates bits" people forever, GUI/Drag and Drop code editors, outsourcing etc. and it always comes back to the edge cases never working and every projecting having tons of edge cases. Maybe this will finally be the time or maybe the AI still can't handle the edge cases. Seeing as how the market is slowly walking away from self driving promises(probably due to the edge cases) maybe we aren't there yet.

  That's the plan, but reality currently falls far short of that. My sister's currently looking at modular houses. There isn't much of a price difference between them vs. building on site, and you deal with a lot of hassles around transportation, site preparation, and permitting/paperwork.
