I've been doing exploring AI and gathering some facts for conversation. In my opinion , if "google" is a verb in your common language (and let's be honest, I think a huge percentage of people were using "google", the VERB and the tool, a few times a day) then you've been using AI for an age and possibly "google" has become passe.
I love being a trusted human being in my transactions and I am loving that AI is allowing more in-depth access to technology and bridging gaps for people. As in all things, life is about balance, possibly a levelling of playing fields, if you are playing.
Have a read below on some uses of AI in common tools used by the public as it applies to Canadian Real Estate. Most people don't know WHEN they are already using AI. Where does technology stop and AI begin? Now we label things that have been generated by AI, but some things are fluid and have been measuring, changing and going with the flow for a very longtime. What's your comfort level with today's AI, because tomorrow may be the next biggest leap. What is your opinion, are you using AI? Is google maps AI?
Canadian AI-Powered Home Valuation Tools
