Get off my lawn with your newfangled AI you kids!!!

Can't go wrong with PostgresSQL, and PostGIS is nice. Have you played with Supabase?

Also, that's neat that you wrote your own syntax parser; SQL is wonkey and not very intuitive.

Supabase does look interesting. With PostgreSQL, you can use pgvectors to store various kinds of embeddings such as from SBERT, CLIP, etc., so you could for example search a list of photos to find those most similar to a photo of your subject kitchen - and have them ranked by similarity.

But again, good training requires analyzing a high number of photos processed for training use. And that can be a lot of work. But for appraisers to use the system, they would have to know something about the mechanics of making queries with embeddings, in other words how to make their own embeddings that will find what they are searching for.

Have you actually done this kind of work? - I am going to get around to it at some point.

IF you want to wet your feet:

1. Start doing R programming.
2. Start doing MARS regression on real data, - with R.
3. Get a decent camera and try making better photographs.
4. Get better at using Photoshop or Affinity to improve the quality of report photos, making them more representative of the subject property, without obfuscation or alteration. E.g. such as correcting perspective, contrast, brightness can color to compensate for lighting deficiencies.

5. But actually, Generative AI is a "No no." In fact it is, I believe, already illegal or against guidelines.

I think we're talking past each other I'm talking about making silly pics as a way to get your feet wet as I did not manipulating MLS pics as a way to ease into this. No where am I talking about anything else. And when you pass the 'course' you get a fun little certificate. I think I started the first AI thread in this forum I'm just here for fun Bert and maybe learn some stuff. btw, I have no idea what 1, 2 and 5 is but if you need photoshop to use a pic in a report you need my class lol

All you have to do is get on ChatGPT and ask it to create an image based on your description, copy it to some file, bring it up in Affinity, reduce the resolution, converting it into. a .jpg file to make it acceptable to AF and then upload it, Such as this: "Can you make a lifelike picture of a Rhino attacking a silly warthog?" Or, "can you make a picture of a rhino chasing a pig or silliy pig. Easy peasy.








And so, what does this have to do with appraisal? Why do you think it is difficult?

It is a tool. Like every tool, it can be used properly or it can be misused. Which way it's used is a decision by the tool user. The tool itself has no responsibilty for that decision.

Yep, I made a helper library for this: https://github.com/agoodway/vecto

Wow, you are quite productive, with two companies.

Like I said in a previous post, I will likely start on a ResNet project in August this year, as I am too busy with other things right now.

Perhaps we can do business in the future. You look like you certainly have your feet on the ground.

That org is just a few friends playing with ideas. But thanks, software is fun.
