Nina Trankova on using AI tools professionally: "As far as I understand it's in the future ... for architects, they have special programs, professional programs, but if they want to advance faster ... with clients, they don't need to share those heavy professional files, but they can use AI to just preview some ideas of what they want to talk about."
