Dude... harsh but fair hahahahahahah. Nothing more painful to me than when I send marketing a write-up to incorporate in something and then they don't proof read to ensure it's been carried over correctly, or if they misinterpret comments then don't re-read the verbiage changes they made to ask "does this sentence actually make sense or did I maybe misinterpret here?".

To OPs question - I think it has a lot of uses from a sourcing and simple legal drafting perspective (think LOIs, not full APS docs). The tech should be great for quickly and easily drafting emails/letters to owners expressing interest in their properties, or for putting together the outline of an LOI, to save you the time of writing up the main bodies of these docs and keep your work to review. 

 

Agreed - and it’s responses are given with such conviction that I think it’s genuinely harmful for people gullible enough to believe it. Caught countless logical/numerical errors through basic testing that I don’t think it’s reliable yet at all. Seems like more of a language/writing tool than a reliable calculation tool.

 

Admittedly, I gave it the local GIS and Secretary of State website as references and asked it to find me the owner of a specific building in my location. Instead, it came back with a fake/incorrect LLC and random names as registered members. 

Still though, I think it shows promise, given that it's still in its beta phase.

I also saw it was nerfed today. So that may have affected my results. 

 

I asked it to write an excel formula to calculate yield maintenance- Wrong every time. Same for "write me an excel formula to distribute construction costs on a bell curve" 

It could be great for basic leases, contracts and jv operating agreements. They seem to have reigned that in somewhat over the last few weeks. Probably threat of a class action law suit. 

 

I see it as being a highly competent intern who is fantastic at doing grunt work and takes constructive feedback extraordinarily well. You need to know what you want and you need to know how to ask for it. Great for time consuming generative content but it's not taking any analyst jobs in the current iteration. Definitely has loads of potential though, it's been a ton of fun to play around with

 

Not quite ChatGPT, but a combination of ChatGPT and DALL-E will significantly reduce the manhours required to design a development. If AI can design the most efficient project for a given site and have a complete understanding of a municipality's building/zoning codes and regulations, create flawless SD/DD/CD's instantly, and produce endless exterior designs for you to choose from, how many architect positions are no longer needed? 

 

It takes a tremendous amount of people, time, and experience/knowledge to complete drawings, even with architectural software. To have AI be able to complete something that takes 1-2 months in a matter of hours would be a complete gamechanger for real estate development. Plus, people make mistakes and there is always inefficiency in the built product. Even if AI saves you no time but can make your building 5% more efficient, it's worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars to your standard run of the mill development. 

 

Architect here.
I recently came across SWAPP which appears to "digest" BIM models from previous projects and use those as the source material for generating design and construction documents. It will take time to see this AI process proved out in the profession. I think it will be particularly interesting to see how professional liability insurance adapts/morphs to this AI design process once it becomes widespread.

I would love to see the architectural field prioritize people's time differently with the help of AI. So much inefficiency in that profession.

Maybe it cuts down on time, but you still have to value engineer whatever it spits out, and there is a truly massive question of who is going to insure anything that a computer generates.

In fact, that's probably the real business opportunity, if you believe in the technology.  Insuring computer generated construction plans.  You can charge more because you can make up the delta on cost savings from hiring the consultants and experts; of course, there is probably no chance of reinsuring, so I cannot even imagine what the capital base would have to be...

 

Yeah it's an interesting thought. My idea was that you would still have architects, but instead of a team of architects working to design a building, it could be just one with the help of AI tools. That architect would still hold the insurance for the construction plans. And the hope would be that instead of taking 4-6 weeks to put together each round of drawings, it could be done in a matter of days. 

 

The scary one long-term for me is that AI can take millions of data points, toss them all into the sausage maker, and spit out acquisition opportunities. Will remove some of the inefficiency from real estate, and inefficiency is why there are no shortage of millionaires in real estate. Does AI allow for bigger firms to increasingly garner more share and make it more challenging for smaller groups to compete? I think we are decades away from that really starting to play a factor, but anything that reduces inefficiency from a market is bad in my book. 

 

Real estate data is so opaque there is no way you could use it like that right now. It’s not like public equities where returns for every company is easily obtained. In real estate even the best data sources aren’t structured in a way to easily use ml on. 
 

Only really big firms with really good data warehouses could attempt it, but even the biggest firms are a fraction of the investible universe. They won’t get anywhere near a full picture for the ml to process.

 

I agree with you, and that's why I love real estate as a long-term place to continue to make money. My concern is more if the data eventually gets good enough that it can point people to opportunities faster and does that remove some of the inefficiency that is inherent in real estate. 30 years ago, there were very few national investors because it was so hard to find deals in other markets and assemble enough data to compete with local players. That dynamic still exists today obviously, but there is far more competition in secondary and tertiary markets. I only see that trend continuing, and AI is going to accelerate it. 

 

ChatGPT can be used in real estate in a variety of ways. It can be used to provide virtual tours of properties, answer customer inquiries and provide detailed information about available properties. It can also be used to help customers search for properties, narrow down their search criteria, and even connect with agents and brokers. ChatGPT can also be used to facilitate online transactions, reducing the need for in-person meetings and paperwork.

 

I chose Vancouver, here you go.

The city of Vancouver, Washington has seen significant growth in recent years, and continues to experience strong population growth. With the addition of several new industries and businesses to the area, the city has become a desirable place to live, work, and invest.

The current real estate market in Vancouver is strong and stable, with rental rates continuing to rise. With the limited rental inventory available, apartment buildings are in high demand, leading to higher rental rates and more investor interest. This presents an attractive opportunity for investors to purchase an apartment building in Vancouver.

With the city's population growth, job opportunities, and rising rents, investors can expect to see strong returns on their investment. Furthermore, the city's proximity to Portland, Oregon allows investors to access a larger pool of tenants, further increasing the potential for rental income.

Overall, the current market conditions combined with the city's growth potential offer investors a great opportunity to purchase an apartment building in Vancouver, Washington. With rental rates rising and the city's long-term growth potential, investors can expect strong returns on their investment.

Output: Once upon a time, there was a group of diplomats working hard to make the world a better place. They had been discussing how to gain leverage over the Pakistanis to move them to more aggressively pursue Al-Qaeda. After much deliberation, they decided to use a combination of incentives and coercive measures to try to get the Pakistanis to cooperate. They offered incentives such as increased control over how Kerry-Lugar money was used and increased support for counterinsurgency capabilities. They also used coercive measures such as targeting military leaders who gave support to Al-Qaeda and its allies, and attempting to reduce Pakistani anxieties about the Indian front. In the end, their efforts paid off and the Pakistanis began to cooperate more with their mission. The diplomats had succeeded in making the world a better place.

The story follows Hillary as she juggles her busy schedule, responding to requests from her colleagues and friends. She is always willing to help, and her dedication to her work is evident. Despite her busy schedule, she is still able to find time to help those around her. A powerful leader was tasked with finding out whether a senator supported the surge in Iraq and obtaining a copy of his recent speech about troops to Afghanistan. The leader reached out to her team for help, and they worked together to draft a memo outlining four strategic interests, three of which overlapped with the leader's goals. With the help of her team, the leader was able to obtain the information she needed and use it to make a positive impact.

President Obama was faced with the challenge of how to win the war in Afghanistan without causing too much destruction and civilian casualties. He decided to increase the size of the Afghan army and police force, and to pay them better wages so they could live comfortably. He also decided to send more US Special Forces and tens of thousands of troops to the region. Despite these efforts, the Taliban continued to gain strength and support from the Pashtun community. Obama realized that he needed to find a better solution. He decided to focus on carefully thought out measures such as providing better pay for the Afghan army and police, and using diplomacy to negotiate with the Taliban. In the end, Obama was able to find a peaceful solution that allowed the US to win the war without causing too much destruction.

A Prime Minister of a country had a fear of losing his sight due to a childhood rugby injury. He had his eyes checked and it was found that he had two minor tears in his retina. He visited the world-renowned Moorfields Hospital for further examinations and the doctors decided against any further operations. The Prime Minister was grateful to the doctors and staff of the NHS, especially Moorfields Hospital. Meanwhile, the US Secretary of State was in contact with the Foreign Minister of Honduras to discuss the situation in the country. She asked her staff to call the US Congressman Payne to update him on the situation. Through her diplomatic efforts, she was able to make a positive impact on the lives of many.

A small island nation called Haiti faced many challenges, but the people of Haiti were determined to build a stable, prosperous and democratic future. The United Nations appointed President Clinton as a special envoy to Haiti, and he appointed Dr. Paul Farmer as the Deputy U.N. Special Envoy. Dr. Farmer had dedicated his life to helping the people of Haiti for the past 20 years. Despite the efforts of the U.S., U.N. and other countries, Haiti still faced many challenges. To help the people of Haiti, the U.S. State Department took a closer look at the challenges and Secretary Clinton's chief of staff briefed Members on the initial findings. The U.S. hoped to better target and coordinate assistance, engage the Haitian Diaspora, and make assistance sustainable. To help the people of Haiti, the U.S. proposed granting temporary protected status to Haitians living in the U.S. and included Haiti in security initiatives such as the Merida Initiative. With the help of the U.S., U.N. and other countries, the people of Haiti could build a brighter future.

There was also a great conflict between two powerful nations, Morocco and Guinea, over a passport that had been taken away from a citizen of Guinea. The leaders of the United States and France stepped in to help and offered ideas to help the two nations come to a resolution, but the leaders of Morocco and Guinea were still unable to come to an agreement. The leaders of the United States and France then decided to meet in Paris to discuss the situation further and were able to broker a deal between Morocco and Guinea, returning the passport to its rightful owner.

There was also a man named Tom who was nominated for a prestigious position, but his nomination was held up due to a disagreement between two powerful forces. A brave negotiator was able to convince the two sides to lift the hold on Tom's nomination, allowing him to achieve his dream.
