Impact of AI on this Job

In the next 5-10 years, AI is unlikely to directly automate the highly skilled, manual work of plasterers and stucco masons, which requires intricate craftsmanship and adaptability. Instead, AI could serve as a valuable assistant, enhancing their efficiency through better project planning, material estimation, and even complex design generation. This would likely lead to an evolution where tradespeople leverage AI tools to augment their capabilities rather than face replacement.
