Has anyone used ChatGPT for projected auction valuation of their space collection? |

No. And I couldn't understand any reason why anyone would!You'd get a similar result by asking any random bloke off of the street - because that's exactly how the algorithms work, only by utilising a 1,000 random blokes or more. And before anybody interjects with how the AI doesn't just interrogate random samples, but utilises past auction and sales results, I'll still answer in the negative. And that's because I know for a fact I've paid well under the average for sought after examples, as well as paying wildly inflated figures for others. And believe me, nothing actually "averages out". On edit: Plus, and that's because I just tried it, it would take forever and a day to actually enter all the data required for ChatGPT just to have a guess, whereas if I actually did want to sell my collection (which I don't) I could ring up Florian Noller (or other respectable dealers, such as Charlie, Anthony and others) and have a conversation about the value etc., and reach an agreement in minutes. |

I agree that AI platforms like ChatGPT should not be the sole reference for determining value. They can often overinflate or undervalue items, so it is essential to conduct independent research through historical sales data, collector sites, and established media.As I liquidate my 40-year collection, I have found that while AI is not a definitive source for pricing, it is an incredibly useful tool for identification. By uploading photos, I can receive helpful historical information regarding the era and production of my items. However, as most AI platforms suggest, it is vital to verify the information provided. Given that I am selling hundreds of items, I rely on AI daily to help point me in the right direction for identification. For items where I remain in doubt, I also consult expert collectors who have been very gracious with their expertise. | |
