What's your thoughts on bricklayers with robot arms?

Well, it’s already happening whether we like it or not. I'm actually fascinated by how quickly the construction world is adapting to automated masonry. I know for a fact that China is adapting this already, like robots are now actually laying bricks and blocks for massive constructions, and it's cutting the construction time and cost by half. And some companies are already using systems like the Semi-Automated Mason or SAM, like a machine arm that can place materials with perfect, computer-level accuracy. So much like when car manufacturing was taken over by machinery.

As hard as it is now to get jobs in masonry, I think we're bound to have more difficulty because of this. But what do you think?
