AI's role in the industry – GreenBuildingAdvisor

With the growth of artificial intelligence finding its way into our everyday lives, (if you are using an online search engine, you are probably using AI), I want to know how users of the GBA platform feel about the technology. There was a lively discussion of opinions in the comment section on a recent article.

Martin Holladay wrote a piece on the topic a couple years ago

What Does AI Know About Green Building? – GreenBuildingAdvisor

and Allison Bailes also featured an article using the technology

Meet the New Introverter Heat Pump – GreenBuildingAdvisor.

Are you using the technology to answer building related questions? If you are, do you have any confidence in the information it is provided? Is there a place for the technology in our industry?

Full disclosure, I occasionally use AI to clean up, colorize, or sharpen old photos and to create images and illustrations for topics that I cannot find photos for. It’s also used for search engine optimization (how internet search find content on GBA).
