I also got to know that AI is an effective tool that can be used to facilitate design, research, and idea generation. Various AI tools have varying strengths. Others are more appropriate to visualization and others are more appropriate to research or to a structured explanation.
I was also surprised at the extent to which the output varies when the prompt is varied. Even minor alterations of wording may give dramatically different outcomes particularly when we are dealing with the concept of realism or cost.
AI can be used to generate utopian or abstract results. It might not completely take into account the real world constraints like budget, materials or construction feasibility.
