-# AI in Estimating
-
-Most estimators are already pigeon holed into poor SaaS like Accubid and the rest already,
-but the need to increase efficiency with AI will be the nail in the coffin.
-The myth that "full package" estimating software is most efficient
-will only be exacerbated by the inclusion of AI features
-that ought to have been available for decades already.
-
-It has unfortunately been the case that construction estimators have, by and large,
-been unable to recognize the bushels of low hanging fruit for automation in our field for decades.
-Now that AI grifters have run out of other industries to sell to,
-we are first introduced to supposedly revolutionary concepts like:
-
-* automatically reading and setting the scale of a drawing
-
-Estimating specific AI features, being unpredictable literally by design,
-will inevitably be inconsistent in reliability between implementations;
-a glaring issue since they will be provided by apps with no external compatibility.

 Most of these features are far better implemented with traditional computing.
