In reply to GKBNM. Good advice GKNBM. This is a trainee who sounds as if they are being hung out to swing alone—IF it is true. Something is strange about this whole “set-up”???? Trust nobody and depend solely on your gut instincts to survive. I truly hope this is just an April Fools prank and not a sign of the human condition at this period in time.

This is an interesting topic about AI. Yes, the young appraiser should have taken the time to make his own comments. There is nothing wrong with using spell check as an aid.

One of the chief (no pun intended) reasons that lenders want to pay half the expected fee is because they (with AI) have figured out that modern appraisal practice is all about the “general” and not the “specific” And, it certainly has nothing to do with “right” or “wrong” – it has everything to do with lack of “specific” contemporanious analysis reflective of the data.

It’s not difficult or time consuming to write a market summary section. They are different for each property. While I use templates I read the template and edit it as needed for the specific property. I’ve actually tested AI to write some articles about different real estate topics. You really have to read what AI wrote and make necessary edits.

No sense in berating the trainee who thought they were doing the right thing. The word is “trainee” which means he or she is relying on the “trainer” to provide good instruction and guidance. Did the “trainer” even bother to read the report? One would think if they had they would have found the error.
