We recently sat down with Andy McCabe & Doug Weatherman to talk about the not so great side of AI and how it’s affecting the Restoration Industry.
Here’s a short clip where they talk a little bit about it.
Doug: I think that this is where the battleground’s gonna be, man. FNOL, Independent Restores, watch your heinies, dude. This is not, this isn’t something you wanna miss out here, man. It’s really not.
Andy: Don’t sleep on this. Don’t sleep on it.
Doug: Yeah, this train is gonna be a big deal, man. And if you stay asleep too long, by the time you get around to waking up and telling your staff to pay attention, everyone else in your market is gonna be already way, way past you.
And it may be for good or bad too. There’s gonna be companies out there, I believe, that suffer drastically because they don’t tech man. There’s a lot of guys out there. I mean, I run into ’em all the time. It’s 2025. I don’t do computers. What do you mean you don’t computer? You know, but I mean, yeah, exactly!
I had an email back in 2018. I had me an email. I checked it back then a lot. Now, not much. You know, but like, that’s the thing, is that like, our own worst enemies in this, just like we’ve been in other things, man. We’re gonna be our own worst enemies at this.
If we, and there’s more to get into the ugly side about this too, but we’re the ones feeding these machines that are kicking our a****. You know what I mean? Bottom line. It’s our rebuttals that are going back in there, being studied, dissected, and then regurgitated back to Tom, the contractor.
