How AI Answers 6 Architecture Questions in Writing You will be surprised!

Artificial Intelligence that writes about architecture

artificial intelligence is already in many different fields of architecture , above all, from the hand of the famous BIM software, but, it is not talks about how he writes about architecture, construction, engineering or even about renewables.

Can you imagine being able to write an entire article? on an architecture theme by clicking on a single button . Well, this already exists!

But, for this article and for simplicity. we test how “smart” an AI can be by writing to a series of concrete questions that we throw, from easy to difficult…

What is happening with Intelligence Artificial capable of writing

To put us in context. Last year the internet revolutionized with a new “ neural network artificial ” designed to write from minimal premises and understanding of NLP ( Natural Language Processing ). Is he GPT-3 .

To understand its importance, better watch the following video which explains it very well: From minute 3:11 if you want to go straight…

The company Open IA launched the intelligence-based GPT-3 tool artificial with an important feature; the has democratized, that is, anyone can create a application - obviously paying - that is dedicated to creating texts using the GPT-3 as a base.

From here, many companies have appeared technological companies that are dedicated to offering a “newsroom in automatic» for those who are willing to pay; WriteSonic , AI Conversion , Neural TexT , Nichess , Copy AI , Copysmith , etc.

Out of curiosity, we have the Conversion tool AI that works with GPT-3… And put it to the test! we started with the questions…

How an AI writes about architecture (Questions and answers)

We ask seven questions (More or less, from easy to difficult), on specific topics of architecture to test how this powerful AI works in the automation of the writing (Answer texts are copied literally):

1.- Question: What is a home?

AI response: A house is a structure with walls and roof that usually includes furniture. The word "house" is sometimes used to refer to a house relative or a home, but it can also refer to structures that fulfill other functions.

It is a habitable space, where people live, sleep, eat and He does the things that make him happy. may be a small apartment, a country house, a cabin or a castle. Can be made of wood, brick, stone or all of these materials.

2.- Question: What are the foundations of a house from the point of view of the construction?

AI response: A foundation is the structural element of the foundation of a building that supports the load of the superstructure. The foundations they provide a stable base that secures the building.

The purpose of the foundations is:

• Provide a stable base that ensures a building.
• Provide a level surface for the construction.
• Provide a solid surface resistant to groundwater.
• Provide a surface that can be used for footings and pillars.
• Provide a water resistant surface underground.

3.- Question: What types of wood parquet can we put in a house?

AI response: Hardwood floors are the perfect choice, and parquet is one of the most popular hardwood floors available. the parquet floor is made of wooden blocks that are cut into shapes geometric to resemble a chessboard. This type flooring is durable, beautiful and has a classic look.

There are many types of wood parquet and it can be put in a home.

Among them are oak, beech, walnut, cherry, mahogany, red oak, maple, pine, fir, and cedar.
When it comes to which is the best type, it really depends on you.

Personally, I think oak is a good type of parquet. wooden to put in a house.

4.- Question: What is a wind turbine and what parts does it have?

AI response: Wind turbines are used to generate power by converting kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy, which is then converted into electric power.

Wind turbines work on the windmill principle of wind and can be used for the production of electricity.

A wind turbine has the following parts:

• Gondola: The gondola is the housing of the box of gears, generator and other electrical equipment. usually climb on top of the tower.
• Tower: The tower must be tall enough to to house the rotor blades.
• Rotor Blades: The rotor blades are the source of turbine power and are mounted on the shaft of the turbine, under the gondola.
• Gearbox: The gearbox is located inside the gondola and is connected to the blades of the rotor.
• Generator: The generator is located inside the nacelle and converts the energy generated by the blades of the rotor into mechanical and electrical energy.

5.- Question: Types of slabs more usual in the construction of a residential building, advantages and disadvantages?

AI response: A warforged is a structural component of a building. It can be concrete of precast concrete or a composite of other materials.

There are many types of forged. They are usually differentiated by type of material used in its construction and by the type of foundation of the building.

The most common slabs are precast panels and that of reinforced concrete.

• Precast panel flooring is made of panels of precast concrete. It is easy to assemble and install. The disadvantage is that the insulation is not good, and the installation of the subfloor is also problematic.
• The reinforced concrete slab is made of reinforced concrete. It is not easy to install, but it is good in terms of isolation.
• The beam and block floor is made of beams and wooden blocks. It is easy to install, but its cost is elevated.
• The suspended floor is made by suspending the floor.

6.- Question: What carpentry in a house is better, wood, aluminum or pvc?

AI response: Owners can choose from many different materials for your projects, but the three most popular materials for joinery are wood, PVC or aluminum.

Wood is the most traditional and popular material for woodworking in the United States. The advantages of this material are that it is very durable and provides a look traditional.

PVC can be used to replace wood in projects such as roofs, fences or house cladding. The advantages of this material are that it requires little maintenance, does not need to be stained or sealed, and does not warp or rot.

Aluminum is commonly used for houses precast and is a lightweight metal that is strong and durable.

How these tools work automatic writing and limitations

The tools that we have named at the beginning, use the GPT-3 AI that have a series of limitations that we must meet:

• They are trained to write and their information base for Natural Language Processing is in the English language.
• How the writing he contributes is in English, it is translated into Spanish with DeepL (See article on how to better translate the Google texts and tools)
• Your responses are three to five paragraphs maximum, bounded in writing. It is a matter introduced by the company that has created the GPT-3 so that nobody becomes "journalist" from one day to the next.
• The more you define the topic or context to deal with, the better will be the result of the writing.

But… What can this intelligence write about? artificial? In general, these tools provide the following possibilities:

And the issue of how they work, we better leave a scheme for faster understanding:

Although the results are fairly consistent, Obviously, there is still a lot of work to be done. but now we can see a near future where this type of inference artificial will be in our offices helping us in many tasks.

By the way, we have a long article on how the artificial intelligence is affecting the field of architecture.
