About this video

ChatGPT says attobank.com is worth $150,000. The real number is closer to zero. In this video, Jeffrey Gabriel shows exactly why AI domain appraisals cannot be trusted, comparing ChatGPT's valuation against Saw.com's own appraisal tool, GoDaddy GoValue, and Humbleworth, then pulling the Whois and extension data that AI completely ignores. Jeffrey Gabriel, founder of Saw.com, walks through a real domain name appraisal of attobank.com on camera: what ChatGPT gets wrong about wholesale, end-user, and strategic buyer pricing, why a domain registered six days ago and picked up in an expiration auction does not carry six-figure value, and how to cross-check any AI appraisal before you act on it.
