- A.I. can’t replace inspectors.
- We can’t be downloaded.
- We can’t be offshored.
- And lastly we have God supporting our industry: The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that everything moves toward a state of disorder.

I actually think about this quite often how an A.I. could be trained to do inspections and I think with enough inspection data and something humanoid-like the TeslaBot on site definitely possible in a few decades. Imagine integrated multi-functional cameras and sensors to “see” into walls, define used materials, R-values of walls, undersized structural components … While at the same time writing the report. For me the question is not if more likely when A.I. will do our jobs but we will probably be one of the last trades that will be taken over, hahaha

Not a chance. Way, way, way, too many variables. We have a hard enough time automating tasks with just a half-dozen or so variables. With inspections, you are talking hundreds (or maybe thousands) of variables.

With that being said…
…have you been to any Facebook Inspector Groups lately?
I suspect AI is further along than you admit!!
For writing narratives it does ok at best. That is what inspectors are using it for.
For actually performing the inspection? Yeah, not going to happen in the next 100+ years, if ever. Not until every house is basically identical anyway.
