Just have the AI design a smaller 3D printer to print the larger one.
Its printers all the way down

If you pour enough money and time down the drain, thereās no reason why you couldnāt have some robots handling the scaffolding and ā3D printingā the concrete too. It would be severalĀ¹ orders of magnitude slower and more expensive than using the normal processes, but hey why build 10000 bridges when you can build just one that tech bros can masturbate to.
Ā¹ this āseveralā is breaking the world record of heavy lifting

Thereās a 3D printed bridge in Amsterdam: dezeen.com/ā¦/mx3d-3d-printed-bridge-stainless-steā¦

A 12m stainless steel pedestrian bridge that took 6 years to make and was subsequently āstrengthenedā to meet safety requirements. Not quite the same thing.

3D-printed by robots in a factory over a period of six months
they needed to use better AI. Facts.

I really doubt that 3D printed steel will be able to handle to stress of a bridge support. Maybe it can be used for uniquely shaped joining panels, but recombined powdered steel is nowhere near as strong ir durable as cold rolled or forged steel beams.
