I've been using Codex these past couple of days to design the interior of a villa. Not my house, though—I don't like villas. Only old folks seem to love them. Codex's backend has no problem calling CAD to generate floor plans and such. But when Codex imports the floor plan into Blender to create those 3D bird's-eye views, the furniture always ends up misaligned. After painstakingly fixing it, Codex uses Blender to produce white models, but the rendered realistic scenes in different styles always feel underwhelming. (Probably because I've only been learning this for a week, so I don't really get it either ) Then I skipped Blender entirely and had GPT generate bird's-eye views and realistic room scenes directly from the floor plan. Turns out, the results were way better than what I got from controlling Blender. That's when I realized my actions were like "modern humans giving a rifle to cavemen, and the cavemen thinking the gun is just a really sturdy club for smashing things." In the AI era, you really can't use new tools the old-fashioned way. #AI #TechThoughts
