You have not read the entire thread, have you?Then leave. No one forces you to stay.
My sense of it is that people want these orgs to exercise influence with the politicians and govt officials in order to prompt govt to intercede on their behalf in the market. To prompt govt to do for them that which they are incapable of doing for themselves at either the individual or group level.I don't hold the opinion that AI is not doing enough for residential appraisers or something like that.
My thought is that AI doesn't do much of anything and doesn't do things that I would expect a professional organization to do.
I do want to join a good professional organization but there is just nothing about AI that makes me want to join.

I think that's an unreasonable expectation because our group is too small to count. Even if everyone joined up and paid their dues it still wouldn't be enough to buy and retain the loyalties of the politicians. We're a relatively few in numbers as special interest groups go.
