Ever found yourself drowning in jargon-filled documents or wasting hours on tasks that should take minutes? You're not alone. The digital age has given us unprecedented access to information but often buries crucial answers under mountains of complexity.
Seth Williams from Retipster YouTube channel is changing this dynamic by leveraging artificial intelligence as his secret weapon. Rather than viewing AI as futuristic tech or a tool just for content creators, Seth has integrated it into virtually every aspect of his work and personal life. He compares today's AI landscape to the internet in 1995 – a revolutionary force that many still don't fully grasp. Most surprisingly, he finds asking AI more efficient than consulting humans about 90% of the time.
The ChatGPT mobile app emerges as a particularly powerful ally, especially with its camera feature (available with the $20/month Plus subscription). Imagine pointing your phone at a confusing software interface or technical problem and receiving immediate, expert guidance based on what the AI sees. In real estate specifically, AI excels at generating compelling property descriptions and decoding dense regulatory documents in seconds rather than hours. Beyond specialized applications, it serves as an all-purpose translator for confusing emails, legal documents, or any text designed to be difficult to understand. Simply paste the text and ask it to "explain like I'm a five-year-old."
How much time and frustration could you save by letting AI tackle your information overload? Try asking it your next complex question and experience the difference yourself. Your productivity—and sanity—will thank you.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, so do you ever just like hit a wall?
You're trying to understandsomething really important, but
the info is just buried injargon, or you know these super
dense documents.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Oh, absolutely, or you feel like you're just
wasting time on tasks that feellike they should be simpler like
chasing down answers.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Exactly, we've all been there, just kind of
overwhelmed by it all.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
It's definitely a modern problem wading through
all that complex stuffespecially when you need it to
make you know actual decisions.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Well, today we're doing a deep dive into something
that, honestly, a lot of peoplemight still think is just for,
like, writers or tech people,but, based on our source
material, it's really becomingthis fundamental superpower for
pretty much everyone.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
We're talking about AI, right.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Specifically tools like ChatGPT.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Exactly and how they're changing the game for
handling information, gettingtasks done, even in specific
fields like real estate.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
And our insights today.
They come from a conversationwith Seth Williams.
He's from the Retipster YouTubechannel.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
And he's not just talking about AI.
He's actually in the trenchesusing it constantly.
He's got some really practical,frankly, kind of eye-opening
takes on its power.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Right.
So our mission here isbasically to pull out the
biggest takeaways from whatSeth's learned.
We want to understand how AIcan actually give you back time
and effort.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
And maybe give you some specific things you can try
, like right now.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Yeah, exactly.
Since he's using it so much,let's unpack what he's found.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Okay, so one of the things that really jumped out
was just how integrated AI is inhis day to day.
He said he uses tools likeChatGPT multiple times a day.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Multiple times Wow.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah, and get this.
He finds that asking the AI isbetter or makes more sense than
asking a human something like 90percent of the time 90 percent.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Seriously, think about that.
He gets a faster, maybe moredirect answer from a machine
than a person most of the time.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
He sees it as this, like incredible resource that's
got all this public knowledgepacked into it.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
And he finds it kind of puzzling when people haven't
even tried it or maybe used itjust once and gave up.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Right, it's like having this superpower sitting
right there and just not usingit.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
That's where his analogy comes in, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Exactly.
He compares AI now to theinternet back in 1995.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Okay, I remember 95 internet dial-up sounds.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Right.
Some people kind of got it, sawthe potential, but lots of
others were like what is this?
Even for?
He sees AI the same way amassive opportunity to leverage
things if you're willing toexplore it.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
And that really hits on a big misconception.
He talks about which?
Speaker 2 (02:36):
is.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
That these AI tools like ChatGPT are just for
content creators.
You know, bloggers, podcasters,people writing stuff all day.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah, but that's really not the full picture, is
it?
According to Seth's experienceanyway?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Not at all.
He's saying.
It's genuinely for anyone.
If you can type or even justtalk to your phone, you can use
these tools.
Their power goes way beyondjust you know writing paragraphs
.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
OK, so let's get into the specifics, though the
mobile app sounds pretty key.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
It does.
He really pushes the ChatGPTmobile app.
Apparently, you need the paidplus membership for the best
features.
It's about $20 a month rightnow.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
And he called that price.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Laughably inexpensive his words because of the value
you get.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
So what does that $20 get you on the app.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Well, the big one seems to be the camera feature.
This sounds wild.
Okay, you can literally pointyour phone's camera at stuff
like a leaky pipe under the sinkor maybe a confusing software
screen on your computer.
He mentioned Zapier as anexample.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
And the AI analyzes the picture.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Or even the live video feed, and it gives you
instructions or tells you what'sgoing on, based on what it sees
.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Whoa.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, he gave this great example, pointing his
phone at his computer screenwhen he was stuck trying to
connect two different softwaretools.
The AI apparently looked at it,understood the visual context
and just told him exactly whatto click, what steps to take.
He said it potentially savedhim hiring an expensive
consultant.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Okay, that is impressive Visual interpretation
.
It's like having an expert justinstantly looking over your
shoulder.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Total game changer.
Yeah, and you know, the sourcematerial mentions this other
thing people are apparentlydoing and look, we're just
reporting what the source said,not saying go do this, but some
folks are apparently using italmost like a therapist.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Seriously.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah, because it's available 24-7 and obviously way
cheaper than traditionaltherapy sessions.
Just shows the versatility, Iguess.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
That's certainly versatile, wow, okay.
So let's bring this back tosomething more business-focused
real estate.
That's Seth Williams' area,right?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Right.
So if you're in real estate,maybe you've heard the AI buzz,
but haven't dipped your toes inwhat's the very first thing.
The source says you should try.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Property descriptions writing those listings.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Oh, okay, makes sense .
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yeah, you take the basic facts a number of beds,
baths, location, maybe some keyfeatures.
You feed that raw info into theAI.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
And just ask it to write a description.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Pretty much, yeah.
Ask it to generate a beautiful,compelling lifting description.
He mentioned that sometimes,even if he knows a property
inside and out, finding theright words can be tough.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
We've all been there.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Exactly the AI, given the facts, can often whip up
something that really makespeople interested, and he
stressed this point.
When you give it the details,it doesn't miss anything
important.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
That's huge.
So you don't forget to mentionthe new roof or whatever.
Great starting point Sades timeprobably sounds more polished.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
For sure.
But it goes deeper, especiallywhen you hit those really dense
documents you find in realestate.
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Municipal regulations , zoning rules, HOA covenants,
walls of text.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Right Pages and pages of complicated PDFs full of
jargon.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
How do you find the one specific thing you need
quickly?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Good question.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
AI seems tailor-made for this.
Seth gave an example from hisland business trying to figure
out exempt subdivides.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Okay, what are those?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Basically properties over a certain size that you
could divide up without needingtons of local government hoops
to jump through.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Ah right, but finding that size threshold?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Exactly.
It's buried in county or cityguidelines somewhere, probably
written in legalese.
The source mentioned Texas,where it's like 10.01 acres or
more, or similar rules inMichigan.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
So how does AI help?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
You find the relevant PDF online, the guidelines, you
upload it to chat, GPT orClaude or another AI tool that
can read PDFs, and then you justask it a plain English question
Like what?
Like hey, according to thisdocument, how big does a
property need to be?
So I don't have to follow thestandard subdivision rules and
it just tells you In seconds.
(06:38):
Usually it scans the wholething, finds the answer and
often even points you to theexact section of the document.
Compare that to a human readingthrough trying to figure it out
.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Monumental time saver , wow.
You know speaking of complexdocuments and real estate
challenges, especially in thoseniche areas.
It makes me think about thekind of detailed work needed in
fields like special needshousing.
Robert Flowers has talked to usabout that before.
I can see how decodingregulations fast would be
critical there.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
That's a really good point.
The precision needed there isimmense.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Absolutely.
And you know, while we're onthe topic of real estate
particularly specialized areasneeding that deep understanding
and efficiency it feels like agood moment to mention our
sponsor, go ahead Flowers andAssociates Property Rentals.
They actually specialize inspecial needs housing, so if
that's a market you're involvedin or looking into, they have
that specific expertise.
(07:31):
You can reach them at901-621-3544.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Good connection.
That expertise is definitelykey in niches like that.
Ok, so back to AI's ability todecode complexity.
It's not just for regulations,right?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
No, not at all.
It's great for any kind ofjargon or even just badly
written stuff.
Seth mentioned legal writing.
Feels like it's deliberatelyhard to grasp, sometimes,
Probably by design.
He joked.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I think we've all felt that.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Right and he shared this great little story.
Super relatable, getting emailsthat are just hard to
understand, like from anelectrician using tons of trade
slang.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Okay, yeah, what do you do?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Instead of writing back confused or getting
frustrated, he just copies theemail text.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Paces it into chat GPT.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yep and asks explain this like I'm a five-year-old.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Ah, does it work.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
He says it works every single time.
Instantly clarifies what theperson meant, no back and forth
needed.
That is so practical, justcutting through the noise
Exactly and that really gets tothe core benefit.
That keeps coming up in thesource material Efficiency.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Saving you time.
It saves time for you gettingthe answer instantly, but also,
potentially, for the person youmight have otherwise had to bug.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Good point.
You're not interrupting theirflow.
You're not waiting for a reply.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Right Seth calls AI a big 80-20 lever.
You know the idea that you canget way more done by using this
tool instead of just relying onhuman limits, how fast someone
can reply or if they're evenavailable.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
And that time you save that efficiency it frees
you up right For other things,maybe building things like
passive income streams.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
That actually connects back to Robert Flowers
too, doesn't it?
His book the Joy of HelpingOthers talks about creating
passive income, specificallythrough special needs housing.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
It does.
It's available on Amazon and,yeah, the efficiency AI offers
could definitely free upheadspace and time for ventures
like that.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Makes sense.
Okay, so AI is powerful, savestime, but there are so many
tools now it feels like a newone pops up every week.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah, the source mentioned that Explosion ChatGPT
Quad Gemini Grok it's a lot.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
So if you're just starting, where do you begin?
Does the source give anyguidance?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
The general recommendation mostly based on
Seth's experience, it seems isto start with ChatGPT.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Why ChatGPT?
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Well, partly just familiarity.
It's been around a bit longer,Lots of people know it and they
seem to be adding featuresreally quickly.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
And remind us about the free versus paid again.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Right, there's a free version which is pretty capable
for basic stuff, but that $20 amonth plus version is what
unlocks the really powerfulthings, like that camera feature
we talked about and oftenbetter performance.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Gotcha Any mention of what the others are good at.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Briefly.
It mentioned Claude is maybeparticularly good if you want
help writing like stories ormore creative text.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Okay, so different tools might have different
strengths, but ChatGPT is a goodall-rounder.
To start.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Seems to be the takeaway, and you can see AI
becoming more mainstream anyway,right?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Like those AI summaries popping up at the top
of Google searches.
Now, yeah, it's definitelyweaving itself into everything.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It's moving fast.
So, OK, let's try and pull thisall together, this deep dive
into Seth Williams's perspective.
It really makes one thingcrystal clear what is.
Ai isn't some like sci-fi thingfor the future or just for tech
geeks or writers?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
No, it's practical, it's here now and it's powerful.
It can genuinely change how youdeal with information day to
day.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Saving you serious time and effort, whether it's
writing a property descriptionor digging through complex legal
stuff or just understanding aconfusing email.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
It helps you find solutions or information you
might just miss otherwise.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
So think back to those frustrations we mentioned
at the start.
You know being stuck on jargon,waiting for answers, getting
lost in text.
Ai seems to offer a reallydirect way to cut through all
that.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
And this is really just scratching the surface.
The source material even hinted.
There's a part two to theirconversation.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Oh yeah, about what?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
About using AI specifically to summarize long
YouTube videos and pull out themain points Another efficiency
hack, basically.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Interesting.
So, considering all this AI'sability to process complex stuff
super fast, spot details humansmight miss in dense text or
even images it leaves us with afinal thought for you, the
listener.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yeah, where else in your own life, in your work,
maybe personal projects, wheremight you be missing simple
solutions or key info justbecause it's presented in a
really difficult way?
Speaker 1 (11:54):
And how could a tool like AI maybe help you unlock
those hidden answers and justmove forward.
Something to think about.
Okay, so do you ever just like hit a wall?
You're trying to understandsomething really important, but
the info is just buried injargon, or you know these super
dense documents.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Oh, absolutely, or you feel like you're just
wasting time on tasks that feellike they should be simpler like
chasing down answers.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Exactly, we've all been there, just kind of
overwhelmed by it all.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
It's definitely a modern problem wading through
all that complex stuffespecially when you need it to

Speaker 1 (00:30):

that's a market you're involvedin or looking into, they have
that specific expertise.
(07:31):
You can reach them at901-621-3544.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Good connection.
That expertise is definitelykey in niches like that.
Ok, so back to AI's ability todecode complexity.
It's not just for regulations,right?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
No, not at all.
It's great for any kind ofjargon or even just badly
written stuff.
Seth mentioned legal writing.
Feels like it's deliberatelyhard to grasp, sometimes,
Probably by design.
He joked.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I think we've all felt that.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Right and he shared this great little story.
Super relatable, getting emailsthat are just hard to
understand, like from anelectrician using tons of trade
slang.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Okay, yeah, what do you do?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Instead of writing back confused or getting
frustrated, he just copies theemail text.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Paces it into chat GPT.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yep and asks explain this like I'm a five-year-old.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Ah, does it work.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
He says it works every single time.
Instantly clarifies what theperson meant, no back and forth
needed.
That is so practical, justcutting through the noise
Exactly and that really gets tothe core benefit.
That keeps coming up in thesource material Efficiency.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Saving you time.
It saves time for you gettingthe answer instantly, but also,
potentially, for the person youmight have otherwise had to bug.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Good point.
You're not interrupting theirflow.
You're not waiting for a reply.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Right Seth calls AI a big 80-20 lever.
You know the idea that you canget way more done by using this
tool instead of just relying onhuman limits, how fast someone
can reply or if they're evenavailable.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
And that time you save that efficiency it frees
you up right For other things,maybe building things like
passive income streams.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
That actually connects back to Robert Flowers
too, doesn't it?
His book the Joy of HelpingOthers talks about creating
passive income, specificallythrough special needs housing.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
It does.
It's available on Amazon and,yeah, the efficiency AI offers
could definitely free upheadspace and time for ventures
like that.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Makes sense.
Okay, so AI is powerful, savestime, but there are so many
tools now it feels like a newone pops up every week.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah, the source mentioned that Explosion ChatGPT
Quad Gemini Grok it's a lot.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
So if you're just starting, where do you begin?
Does the source give anyguidance?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
The general recommendation mostly based on
Seth's experience, it seems isto start with ChatGPT.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Why ChatGPT?
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Well, partly just familiarity.
It's been around a bit longer,Lots of people know it and they
seem to be adding featuresreally quickly.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
And remind us about the free versus paid again.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Right, there's a free version which is pretty capable
for basic stuff, but that $20 amonth plus version is what
unlocks the really powerfulthings, like that camera feature
we talked about and oftenbetter performance.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Gotcha Any mention of what the others are good at.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Briefly.
It mentioned Claude is maybeparticularly good if you want
help writing like stories ormore creative text.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Okay, so different tools might have different
strengths, but ChatGPT is a goodall-rounder.
To start.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Seems to be the takeaway, and you can see AI
becoming more mainstream anyway,right?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Like those AI summaries popping up at the top
of Google searches.
Now, yeah, it's definitelyweaving itself into everything.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It's moving fast.
So, OK, let's try and pull thisall together, this deep dive
into Seth Williams's perspective.
It really makes one thingcrystal clear what is.
Ai isn't some like sci-fi thingfor the future or just for tech
geeks or writers?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
No, it's practical, it's here now and it's powerful.
It can genuinely change how youdeal with information day to
day.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Saving you serious time and effort, whether it's
writing a property descriptionor digging through complex legal
stuff or just understanding aconfusing email.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
It helps you find solutions or information you
might just miss otherwise.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
So think back to those frustrations we mentioned
at the start.
You know being stuck on jargon,waiting for answers, getting
lost in text.
Ai seems to offer a reallydirect way to cut through all
that.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
And this is really just scratching the surface.
The source material even hinted.
There's a part two to theirconversation.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Oh yeah, about what?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
About using AI specifically to summarize long
YouTube videos and pull out themain points Another efficiency
hack, basically.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Interesting.
So, considering all this AI'sability to process complex stuff
super fast, spot details humansmight miss in dense text or
even images it leaves us with afinal thought for you, the
listener.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yeah, where else in your own life, in your work,
maybe personal projects, wheremight you be missing simple
solutions or key info justbecause it's presented in a
really difficult way?
Speaker 1 (11:54):
And how could a tool like AI maybe help you unlock
those hidden answers and justmove forward.
Something to think about.
