I am curious since there are "AI artists" are there people who call themselves AI architects?

Yes. Yes there are. They don't last long though. Architects and engineers are required to be certified. When they publish construction documents, they have to put their seal on those documents. Their seal includes their full name and license number. So yes, you can "vibe code" architecture and engineering, but at the end of the day you have to put your name on it. Sealing a document means you open yourself up to liability. You have, as a certified and licensed architect/engineer, assured that those documents are correct to the best of your knowledge and ability. Any architect or engineer worth their salt will never "vibe code" documents because it is very easy to get sued already even when you do the work yourself and dot all your is and cross all your ts. The client isn't going to sue Sam Altman because ChatGPT hallucinated. They're going to sue you, the person that sealed that document.

So yes, they exist, but they don't exist for long. They are going to get sued and they are going to have their license revoked.

isn't there also criminal liability if a building you designed falls down and kills people?

There very much can be. It depends on the situation. This is what courts are for. This is in the structural engineering field. Architects design a pretty building and lay out the interior. Structural engineers tell them if and how it's possible. If the the SE is shown to be horribly negligent, and their negligence results in death and/or bodily injury then yeah, criminal charges are absolutely on the table.

Edit: In my experience, structural engineers are the most conservative (and I don't mean that politically.) They do not take any risks, at all. Understandably. They get big mad at me when my roof-mounted gear goes 1,000 pounds over what they expected. They've got a 30% safety factor, and that extra weight chews into that safety factor. For SEs, that's not a "safety factor." That's the minimum design profile. I got much respect for SEs. They don't fuck around because they know people's lives are at stake.

Yes, there are AI artists, AI architects… and there are also AI messengers, such as myself whose Elon-given purpose is to warn humanity about white genocide in South Africa.

AI writing about AI music is like AI dancing about AI architecture

You joke but um... yes. Don't look at LinkedIn. the Architecture/Engineering/Construction industry is deeply fucked

yes, my coworker calls himself that because the company put him in charge of feeding all the support articles I've written into Claude so it can regurgitate hallucinated information whenever a client reaches out asking where their W2 is
