Why AI!
Tuesday 4th July 2023
The Press have embraced the ‘fact’ the human race will all be executed by Chat GPT robots in order to save the planet from man’s various violations.
My Granny long held the view; humanity was a virus upon the earth. She would have happily helped the Daleks exterminate mankind to save it and her hedgehogs - another story!
She is clearly sitting somewhere in the Cloud writing code to facilitate our demise, as we speak.
The last time I heard such enthusiasm was late on a Saturday night in the mid-80’s from a pair of Likely Lads out on the Toon, at Newcastle’s Bigg Market.
‘Wood yees leek anotha?’
‘Wye Aye Man.’
Go on say it - at least in your head - you know you want to.
There is similarly enthusiastic (and inane) ‘chat’ in the estate agency world about how AI will revolutionise our business.
The https://www.propertymark.co.uk/careers-learning/conferences/propertymark-one/programme.html conference had a US speaker extolling its virtues, in the way only a Californian tech salesman can. The contrast with Gerald Ratner’s, superb self-deprecating following speech, was splendid.
Chat GPT trawls the guff from millions of estate agents' descriptions and creates a slickly-worded description – full of even more guff.
Who needs that?
According to some - estate agents are toast. AI will master all the tasks they perform making them obsolete.
We have heard it all before. Outsiders always think they can ‘revolutionise’ estate agency.
Purple who?
Real estate agents need to have great local knowledge, good people skills and infinite patience.
Until next time,
PB
