Using AI to price your cards?

That's interesting. I like to price my own but, hey, AI seems to have done a decent job there. I wonder how many AH's are using AI now for their descriptions etc..?

The AI descriptions on eBay are immediately identifiable and are the very worst. They're so meaningless and generic in nature that they explain nothing about the individual card itself. Mind-numbing and catering to the lowest common denominator among collectors.

And when you have no other option than to ask these lazy sellers a question (like whether the card has a crease or wrinkle that doesn't show in the scan), it's as if you are speaking a foreign language to them. 75% of them fail to answer at all, 15% will not even attempt a real/honest answer (saying things like I'm not a professional grader so I don't know if there's a crease), and 10% might actually look at the card and give you an honest assessment.

Sad to see the art of communication devolve to the state we currently reside in. And it will only get worse.
