A.I. Stuff

Young people know how to use AI. It can eliminate professors among other professions.
My daughter uses AI to write a cover letter and it's fast and excellent saving her time and effort.
One thing AI can't do is to replace Fernando in AF. :giggle:

It already has you think I am a real person :)
 
AI social media influencers who already have 100s of thousands of followers are here look completely real but are completely AI generated and this is only the beginning. Hollywood should be very afraid.

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.

Q: "How many people probably died in the Maui fires?

A: "Based on official reports, it appears no deaths have been directly attributed to the recent Maui wildfires. A few key points:

No fatalities reported - As of now, authorities have not reported any civilian or firefighter fatalities resulting from the fires.
No missing persons - There are also no reports of missing persons or unaccounted for residents in the areas affected by the Maui fires.
Pre-emptive evacuations - Thousands were evacuated preemptively from the path of the fires, likely preventing any loss of life. Up to 3,000 people were evacuated at the height of the fires.
Containment away from populated areas - The most intense parts of the fires hit more remote, rural areas of Maui and did not damage major residential centers.
Small population affected - Only about 150 structures (homes and other buildings) were reported destroyed by the fires, a small fraction of Maui's population.
Timely warnings - Emergency agencies sent alerts and warnings early on about the fires, allowing evacuations to take place before the flames approached populated zones.

So while the Maui fires were certainly highly destructive to natural lands and some properties, timely evacuations and the fires avoiding major populated areas likely prevented any deaths thus far. However, officials have not completely ruled out the possibility that some casualties could be discovered later."

Dumb as some people with 140+ IQs. Humans get it.
 
Claude again, "Be sure and shake a recent PAREA graduate's hand. : )

Q: "Tell me about the new appraisal mentorship program PAREA.

A: "PAREA stands for Practical Applications of Real Estate Appraisal. It is a new mentorship program launched in 2021 by The Appraisal Foundation to help provide aspiring appraisers with practical training opportunities. Here are some key details about PAREA:
  • Goal - The goal is to give aspiring appraisers mentorship experience that closes the gap between basic education and practical knowledge needed for a career in appraising.
  • Structure - It connects trainees with experienced appraisers who serve as mentors for a 3-6 month hands-on mentorship program. Mentors are vetted carefully.
  • Activities - Trainees shadow mentors on site visits, assist writing reports, develop valuation models, interact with clients, and gain general insights from veteran appraisers.
  • Cost - PAREA charges aspiring appraisers a program fee of $2,500 to participate. Mentors receive a stipend for taking on mentees.
  • Locations - As of 2022, PAREA programs are available in over 20 states with plans to expand nationwide. Major metro areas have the most opportunities.
  • Application - Aspiring appraisers must complete an application proving basic qualifications before being matched with a mentor.
  • Impact - Early feedback has been positive. Graduates say it provides excellent preparation for a career in appraising.
Overall, PAREA aims to improve training and lower barriers to entry through hands-on mentorships with experienced professionals. This helps address industry concerns about recruiting new talent."

Claude needs to get out more.
 
Houston, we have a problem:

Q: "Tell me about the kitchen fire that happen to President Biden's home?

A: "Here are the key details on the recent kitchen fire at President Biden's Delaware home:
  • Location: The fire occurred at President Biden's home in Wilmington, Delaware on January 28, 2023. This is his longtime personal residence where he frequently spends weekends.
  • Cause: The Wilmington Fire Department stated the fire started in the kitchen around 10:30 AM and was caused by an electrical appliance malfunction. They did not specify which appliance.
  • Extent of damage: The fire damage was reported to be relatively minor and contained mainly to the kitchen area. Some smoke damage did occur in adjoining rooms.
  • Injuries: No injuries were reported from the fire. President Biden and the First Lady were not present at the home at the time.
  • Response: Firefighters responded quickly and were able to extinguish the small fire. In total they were on scene for about 30 minutes.
  • Impact: The White House stated the residence is currently habitable and the Bidens will be able to use it as planned for upcoming weekend visits. Some minor repairs may be needed.
  • Security: White House officials say there was no threat to Secret Service protectees and that security protocols worked as intended during the incident.
Overall, timely response prevented what could have been a much more severe fire. Officials say it will not disrupt President Biden's routine visits to his Wilmington residence."

Claude and the President get this one wrong a lot.
