WE ASKED CHATGPT TO PLOT A PROPERTY

Can you upload a land title to ChatGPT and ask it to plot the property?

We decided to try it.

We uploaded the technical description from a title and asked ChatGPT to plot the lot based on the bearings and distances.

In less than two minutes, it produced a clean-looking diagram with boundary lines and labels.

Impressive.

It looked like exactly the kind of practical AI use that could save real estate professionals a lot of time.

Then we checked the plot ourselves.

The boundaries didn’t close.

A technical description made up of bearings and distances should generally bring you back to the point of beginning. If the resulting polygon doesn’t close, something needs to be verified: the source data, transcription, interpretation, rounding, or the actual plotting.

ChatGPT didn’t flag any of that.

It simply produced a convincing-looking plot.

And that may be one of the most useful lessons about AI right now:

Something can look professional, precise, and completely believable—and still be wrong.

AI is excellent for speeding up work, visualizing information, and doing first-pass analysis.

But when the output involves property boundaries, measurements, legal documents, or anything where accuracy really matters, a polished result is not a substitute for verification.

Use AI to work faster.

Use expertise to know when not to trust it.
