So I asked ChatGPT a question about our profession...

i know i know...room 101 for me to watch lowballed again...woke jokes

Once you come to peace with your fate it's easier to get peace. Your Ship Sailed and it's never coming back. Repeat that 100 time's each morning and look for another independent profession like dog grooming or even a gardner or small engine repair guy.

There are hundreds of choices but they all require actual work and showing up to the job. That's the part old appraisers don't like. Lol

these are the same woke jokes that thought no doc loans were a good idea...maybe bring back the ivpi

AI is going to replace a lot of paper pusher jobs. No doubt about it. Just because of the internet we can plan a complete vacation around the world all from your smart phone or laptop computer. Speaking of laptops, if yours breaks , you can hardly find a puter repair place. But if just buy a new one and have all your data stored in cloud .. your up and running in a day.

Mike Rowe Dirty Jobs is giving out millions for young people to take dirty jobs.

I am a little sad about all those new appraisers over at facebook; Life can be cruel.

Nobody likes it but at some point one has to either deal with it or move on. Some treat this like a scorned lover who 20 years later is still reliving the break up with every person she talks to his name comes up. Geez get over it and move on.

JetZero to build manufacturing facility in NC, create more than 14K jobs; investment of $4.7B​

401k, rewarding job where you are appreciated, no middle peeps taking your fee, job security, less ups and downs....stable.

But you have to actually work not sit and wait for an order. Few appraisers if they been in this for over 10 year's can go to a real job. That's why so many stay in it even when their going broke. Lol

"These job's since they are aircraft manufacturing should pay pretty darn good wages. Assuming we can keep the Unions out of NC


For the past few weeks, I've been spontaneously breaking out into dance," said Kevin Baker, Executive Director of Piedmont Triad International Airport.

JetZero chose Greensboro among numerous other finalists for its first manufacturing plant.

"North Carolina has one of the most impressive talent ecosystems in the country. From your K-12 public schools to your top-ranked universities, best-in-class community colleges, we are thrilled to work with you," added JetZero CEO Tom O'Leary.

JetZero has a plan to revolutionize commercial aviation with an aircraft design that looks like something straight out of a sci-fi movie–and promises major improvements in fuel efficiency. The form factor the startup is chasing is known as a blended wing body aircraft.

"
Are we really going to take this to read that we can screw up a wall by .8 inches as long as we measure it to the nearest tenth of a foot?

why does cubicasa get a pass?

Although not my point. I purchased the new iPad with lidar hoping to go distoless...using cubicasa or scan to sketch.

I tried them on a simple 6 sided ranch home. Both were dead on and other walls were off by as much as .8in.

So yes, I am within a .1 in, not hard. But not my point."

USPAP needs to be updated....

I just spent 1,400 for a new iPad pro to test out cubicasa and alamodes scan to sketch.

Both were inaccurate, but how does one define inaccurate?

Cubicasa was close, but one wall was .8" off? Sure, I guess they averaged it out to make it square?

Say I measure a wall. Disto says 30.1'.

I scan using cubi casa and it comes back 30.8'.

ANSI says to round to the nearest tenth. So if my disto reads 30.12', you would round to 30.1'.

So that is how .8 is not as accurate.
You have feet, tenths and hundreds. You round hundreds to the nearest tenth of a foot. You do not round to the nearest foot. 30.5' is not rounded to 31'. No offense, but if an appraiser pulls a tape on a wall and cannot measure it to an inch....wait that's why pdc use cubicasa. They couldn't measure a home if they tried.

Scan to sketch needs some major improvement. Just not accurate enough for me. The tech guys at alamode are great, but it is not there yet.

Cubicasa will cost me $15 a pop and takes 24 hrs, which is not great. It's somewhat accurate, but define what is accurate enough.

Say I come in low on an appraisal. CUBICASA is off by 70 sqft. That could be $5,600 to a comp. If it's a hybrid what do I do?

That's my point will all of this new tech. Cubicasa, regression, third party data, etc.

USPAP’s Standards Rule 1-4 requires appraisers to collect, verify, and analyze all information necessary for credible results.

Does the pdc know how the black box cubicasa works? Have they ever verified or would they know how to verify or how to know when it might be off?

That's my point. If appraisers start using cubicasa are we going to get the same free pass? It's accurate "enough".


Advisory Opinion 18 (AO-18) in USPAP provides guidance on the use of AVMs, emphasizing that appraisers must understand the model’s functionality and ensure its appropriateness for the assignment.

Do appraisers need to know how cubicasa works? How regression works?

If cubicasa is not accurate and regression analysis is not accurate, can we use it?

You may want to get off your ANSI high horse and realize you made a mistake in your presentation that is causing a lot of us to question your measuring knowledge.

In your first post you indicated that the third party was off by .8" ( where " means inches....)

Later you changed it to .8' (where ' means foot...) in order to do your math equation as a demonstration to us how far off the third party was. There IS a large difference between 30.1' and 30.8', but that's not how you originally presented your argument, where you were arguing that there is a major screw up between .8" and 1.2" (AKA 1 tenth of a foot).

"no one is doing exterior ANSI measurements accurately to the nearest tenth of an inch."

1st, if they are stating to measuring to ansi guidelines, they are lying.

They are in my market. No offense, but if an appraiser pulls a tape on a straight wall and cannot measure it to an inch, they need to find another job.

Say I measure a wall. Disto says 30.1'.

I scan using cubi casa and it comes back 30.8'.

ANSI says to round to the nearest tenth. So if my disto reads 30.12', you would round to 30.1'.

So that is how .8 is not as accurate.
You have feet, tenths and hundreds. You round hundreds to the nearest tenth of a foot. You do not round to the nearest foot. 30.5' is not rounded to 31'. No offense, but if an appraiser pulls a tape on a wall and cannot measure it to an inch....wait that's why pdc use cubicasa. They couldn't measure a home if they tried.

You talk about .8 of a foot here, but your prior posts mentioned.8 of an inch. Perhaps that is the disconnect?

I will not get off of my high horse. I like it up here. But i have no problem saying I made a mistake.


Cubicasa came back with inches and I have my tablet and disto set up in tenths. I was at lunch when I was posting and just trying to make a quick point sorry. Also, all fake made up numbers to make a point.

I guess i was the disconnect? Trying out new products, always a learning curve.

I apologize if I offended anyone. Please accept my sincerest apologize.
