Would be awesome if this app contained all Lego sets ever (including the Rebrickable ones) so you know which sets you can build when you just bought bulk Lego at a flee market. But it seems it only contains their own designs and some user submitted content.
Yes, it also finds pieces in a stack, but I'd rather do that part myself. Sorting Lego manually is fun!

#73Why not just... play with the LEGO?
Because more tech is always the correct solution, right?
The world will be a better place once we outsource everything to our machine overlords, can't you see?
Why waste precious time thinking when you can get your answers right now? Thinking don't lead you nowhere, the machines will do it better than you anyway.

#74Very cool. Now what I want is something that will scan a pile of rocks and tell me how to put them together to build a wall with minimal space between them. https://media.istockphoto.com/photos/stone-wall-texture-pict... Or better yet, tell my robot how to do it.
Very cool idea, but what I'd need way more often: Now what I want is something that will scan a pile of socks and tell me how to put them together to have a perfect match. https://media.istockphoto.com/photos/socks-pile-texture-pict... Or better yet, tell my robot how to do it.
Sock matching is not really difficult is it? The act of putting them together is the cumbersome part!

Maybe take a normal rock wall and break it into tiny pieces, then reassemble.

Can be done by breaking into two easier problems. First is identifying the ingredient, and second is taking a list of ingredients and amounts and matching with recipe sites that never have their data in a normalized format.

Depends on the person. Some are naturally good at playing Candy Crush and might even enjoy it. I'm terrible at it and for me it's borderline torture.
Same with sorting socks.

#78I have already accepted the notion that we as a workforce and creativity input will become irrelevant for corporate overlords in the next decade. I have already moved to the mountains, stopped practicing UX/UI design, stopped digital drawing and painting, minimized smartphone usage and use internet only for work and casual browsing. Already archived a lot of media, movies, books and OSS software, just in case. Moved…
This app counts your bricks and then matches that count with user submitted builds you have the correct bricks to build. It has no magic AI creativity.
Re: Brickit scans your pile of bricks and gives you ideas, with instructions
#79Wow really surprising how many folks here don't understand that lego typically comes in kits with instructions. By building a lot of sets using instructions, you can learn patterns that help you be more creative in free play. This app is not creativity inhibiting any more than coloring books or sketching instructionals inhibit kids from drawing their own things. It's just a different and also valuable activity.

This is an easy problem to solve, find the socks you like and then buy 20 pairs of the same socks and get rid of the old ones.
