AI will say the optimum position is here to catch maximum sunlight to heat the building and the view will be lost. Smart tools will develop to meet need based on Return on Investment. Some joiners are just happy with a cutlist, others use CNC machines for repetitive or advanced cutting and then you have factories basically feeding in trees and shipping building panels out for erection. Individuals, all 7 Billion & counting, have always made their own choices on the tools they need to make life bearable from sticks & stones to advanced factories. Mythological sweeping statements that we ALL need AI to exist are unfounded. Go tell the indigenous people of the Amazon Rain Forest that they really should be using AI for their buildings and see what reaction you get.
I've been modelling buildings in ArchiCAD for years. But one day I asked myself - why actually I have to draw walls and place windows there? Why computer cannot do all that for me? In theory it actually can - just nobody cares about it yet.

Disagree. To design a building - not necessary to open ArchiCAD (AutoCAD, Revit, Vectorworks) and start to draw. You can take a paper and start draw with a pen. And many architects still do that.
After you open web-site - some sort of chat interface with a bot and typing:
I need a building, located there and there, this amount of floors, that kind of structure, modern (or traditional). This way - communicating with robot and answering to its questions - you designing a building. Results are showing on the screen as previews.
Absolutely the same way, how some architects designing without touching computers - just instead of robot they have drafters.
So, robot is creating BIM file and at any moment person can connect to the file using BIM program and continue (if he wants) to work in BIM environment.
So, why not? Today the similar way we are using a lot of things. For example - when we take a photo with iPhone. We actually instead could say: "No, no! We don't need AI in photo processing! We need RAW file and will process everything manually in PhotoShop."
So why it's bad to have automatic function, that can convert PointCloud scan into BIM model completely automatically? Or help to make proposals for planning application and build later complete model with all necessary construction documentation?.....
