Is interior design dead?

AI can now generate, iterate, visualize, and revise interior concepts in minutes — at a fraction of the time and cost.

The skill isn’t disappearing.

But the business model might be.

Astra is nice, but keep an eye on those tokens. 👀💸

Successfully installed Codex 5.6 SOL in Revit 2023. Time to explore its potential. 🚀 #Revit #BIM #AI

I think if a model doesn’t have Ref2V, it’s still falling short.

Some people, even if you give them the roadmap, will find a way not to follow it.

Sometimes it’s ego. Sometimes laziness. Sometimes fear of finding out what they’re actually capable of.

Why use Codex for complex organic modeling when free Image → 3D → Retopo pipelines already do it better?

Let Codex focus on what it does best: engineering, BIM, and hard-surface workflows.

Marketing can make any AI tool look amazing. Until your first real project... then come the LoRA loops, hundreds of gigabytes to download, endless tweaking, and hours wasted. Then what?

What are all these fields of knowledge flooding in the age of AI? The only real requirement is focus.

If you feel AI is taking away part of your design identity, reduce how much you rely on it in your workflow.

My main pipeline. 🎨

[LR @latent_ratio]

You read a tweet saying, "Just do this and you'll get amazing results."

I’ve actually tried many of those workflows.

About 90% of them either fail or require dozens of iterations, prompt refinements, and retries before producing anything usable. And if the workflow relies on paid services, every attempt has a cost.

That’s why tool orchestration matters.

Before chasing a new workflow, I ask two questions:

- Is it worth the effort?
- Can I shift most of the pipeline to open-source tools?

WIP isn't working anymore.

If it's worth doing,
finish it.
