Would seem that if folks like simulation (and maybe just stimulation) then the VR Golf thing is great. Think that VR needs to be distinct at this point from AI discussion... does it really promote cognition?
AI should be a great tool making things easier for GCA's work process but not making final decisions... the more one knows about gca like Tom D, the less they may think they've really solved a problem but just approached an acceptable outcome or solution with routing paths versus greensite locations on a given site. After all, let the computer code deal with topo based water balance and drainage calculations...
GCAs will have to put a lot of input into AI to make it work..
No matter the proportions amongst the elements, getting there has to be the most fun.
