My very first ChatGPT question and response:
When will the land surveying profession be fully automated?
The complete automation of the land surveying profession is a complex topic and difficult to predict with certainty. While advancements in technology, such as drones and LiDAR systems, have already had a significant impact on surveying practices, the full automation of the profession involves various factors beyond technological advancements.
Surveying tasks often require human judgment, interpretation, and decision-making, particularly in complex or unique situations. Additionally, legal and regulatory frameworks may need to evolve to accommodate fully automated surveying processes.
While some aspects of land surveying may become increasingly automated over time, it is challenging to determine an exact timeline for full automation. It's more likely that the profession will continue to evolve with the integration of advanced technologies, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of surveying processes rather than replacing human surveyors entirely.
