Everything You Need to Know about ChatGPT: The Hottest (and Scariest) Technology of 2023

ChatGPT can write whole essays from a simple text prompt, formulate 100 social media post ideas from a single sentence, create computer code with just a description and compose poetry and songs in any artist’s style in milliseconds. It’ll create a summary from a long legal document, recommend resources for research and, by the time you read this, make your bed and bring you coffee.

For real estate professionals, the capabilities are endless, as are the challenges. With this type of AI tool, there are ethical issues, legal issues, bias issues, quality issues, creativity issues, copyright issues, issue issues… and issues we haven’t even considered.
