I've been around a half dozen people with 140+ IQs, and they've all had interesting lives, but they still had significant problems and blind spots, like all of us. I think the AI machine will have a similar pattern.
From Claude:
Q: "What does the future look like for being a residential real estate appraiser?
A: "The future outlook for residential real estate appraisers looks fairly positive. Here are some key points about the future of this profession:
Steady demand expected - The need for home appraisals to secure mortgages and facilitate real estate transactions means there will always be a base level of demand for appraisers. The profession is projected to grow around 3% over the next decade.
Adoption of technology - New appraisal technology and automated valuation models may improve efficiency, but are unlikely to fully replace human appraisers. However, appraisers will need to adapt to new tech tools.
Consolidation possible - Independent appraisers may struggle with increased competition from larger national and regional firms leveraging economies of scale. Some project consolidation in the profession.
Barrier to entry - Strict licensing/certification requirements at state and federal levels limit new people entering the field, which benefits current appraisers.
Focus on rural areas - Urban and suburban markets are more saturated, so opportunities may be greater in small towns and rural areas.
Evolving training - The training process will likely continue enhancing technical valuation skills along with 'softer' skills like critical thinking, analysis, and communication.
Demographic shifts - Rising demand for appraisals as older appraisers retire could mean more opportunities for new entrants to the field.
Overall, appraisers who adapt to new technology, pursue continuing education, and cater to underserved markets should continue finding stable work opportunities. The human element of on-site appraisals will endure into the future."
Not bad, but wrong.
