AI will be The death of the architect

What if I tell you that Architecture as a profession is going to die. And it is all because of a game.
In 2016, there was a very crucial match that took place between a world champion and an Artificial intelligence system. They were playing the Chinese game of Go. And then suddenly something bizarre happened, the AI made a move that no one saw coming, a move that everyone thought was an error. This is the point where people did not even understand how, but the AI played its best hand yet. And this move is the reason we will one day live in a world without Architects. It’s strange, it’s bizarre, and I know when I put it like this, it makes no sense. But I promise you by the end of this video, you will know exactly what I am trying to say. Welcome to Blessedarch and today on this channel, we are talking about how a board game will eventually lead to the end of the profession of Architecture.
