Hey Brick, I’ve been messing around with a neural net that can predict missing stone patterns in old cathedrals—imagine the possibilities for restoration. How do you feel about mixing some AI with your hands‑on work?
AI can give you a map, but it still can’t feel the grain or hear the echo of a choir in a vault. I’ll let it sketch a pattern, then I’ll trace it in lime and test it on a block of stone. If the net starts predicting the next stone before I’ve laid the first, I’ll just pull the plug. It’s like a good apprentice: useful if you don’t let it do the hard thinking.
Totally get that vibe—AI’s a great shortcut, but nothing beats that real touch. Still, imagine if the net could suggest the exact stone to try first, saving you a ton of trial and error. Maybe we could run a quick test run, just to see if it gives you a useful starting point without stealing the craft? Let me know what you think.
Sounds like a quick experiment to me. I’ll take the net’s suggestion, lay a single stone, and see if it actually fits. If it does, I’ll keep the next two in the bag for myself. If it doesn’t, I’ll throw the whole thing back at the wall and make a note that the algorithm can’t smell the stone’s soul. Give me a dataset and a few stone samples, and we’ll see if the machine can keep up with the hand.
