AI will also solve the housing affordability crisis too so you won’t need to worry about that…right?!?

I mean, realistically, I do expect someone to put together a viable robotic house-construction robot at some point.

A rough breakdown of the overall costs of building a home will look like this:

Labor: 40%

Also, I'd bet that it cuts into materials cost, because you don't need to provide the material in a form convenient for a human to handle.

I've seen people creating habitations with large-scale 3d printers, but that's not really a practical solution. It's just mechanically-simple, so easier to make the robot.

I don't know if it needs to use what we'd think of as AI today to do that. Maybe it will, if that's a way to solve some problems conveniently. But I do think that automating house construction will happen at some point in time.
