It is a question that is asked frequently as we get closer to the UAD 3.6 transition, but Dustin shares why it's the wrong question to ask. Not only is it the wrong question to ask, it may be an illegal question to ask.

In 1970 the ATM was called "The Teller Killer." But instead, banks opened MORE branches, teller jobs doubled. Machines handled the math, humans handled the relationship. AI is your ATM — it automates the routine, you scale the empathy.

As Dustin wraps up the 90-day experiment called Project Prometheus, what was the final assessment? Was it successful? The goal was to see if one appraiser could make more than $100,000 a year, work less than 40 hours a week, and do so without staff using AI as the muscle.
