Comedy Central Roast Of Myself

By
Mortgage and Lending with George Souto NMLS #65149 NMLS #65149

I attend the ActiveRain Weekly ZOOM Meetings almost every week, and over the last couple of months we have been assigning homework assignments based on what was discussed in the ActiveRain Weekly ZOOM Meeting that week.  Even though I have been attending these meetings, I have not been participating in the homework assignments, that are assigned at the end of the meetings.  However, this past Tuesday's assignment was to much fun for me to pass up.

As always before the end of our ActiveRain Weekly ZOOM Meeting, we come up with an appropriate homework assignment.  This week Wanda Kubat-Nerdin suggested we use AI to assist in writing a Comedy Central style blog roasting us.  Also, Margaret Rome suggested that we have AI create a photo of us in our environment. 

We have had several ActiveRain Weekly ZOOM Meetings this year instructing us on the many uses of AI, however, I still have not used AI, that is until this week.  In fulfilling the parameters of the homework assignment, I used Gemini, ChatGPT, and CoPilot.

My first attempt was asking ChatGPT to "Roast me like in Comedy Central as a Mortgage Officer.  ChatGPT came back with:

"Ohhhh, a Connecticut Mortgage Officer, huh?
Alright, step into the flames — Comedy Central style, but safe-for-work-ish (mostly).

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for this brave soul — a CT Mortgage Officer!
The only person who can make both a realtor and the DMV look efficient.

You’re in the mortgage business in Connecticut, which means your entire job is saying:
“Congrats on your dream home! Now give me 47 pay stubs, 19 bank statements, your firstborn, and a letter explaining why you bought a latte in 2019.”

You spend your days telling people, “Rates are still great!”
Bro, the last time rates were great, Blockbuster was open.

Your whole personality is emailing people documents they already signed.
Twice.
In three different portals.
All named “DocuSomething.”

And why do mortgage officers ALWAYS walk around like the housing market personally depends on them drinking Dunkin’ Iced Coffee at 7 a.m. with sunglasses on like they're protecting the nuclear codes?

You're basically a financial therapist who charges interest.
“Tell me about your credit score, Tina. No judgment… unless it’s under 620, then I’ve never met you in my life.” 

But hey — you’re still a hero.
Without you, no one in CT would have a house…
because they’d all still be trying to figure out what the hell a “debt-to-income ratio” is while Zillow is laughing at them."

I then had Gemini create the following photo of me in my environment.

Next, I used CoPilot to write the blog and create the photo.  CoPilot came back with:

"Alright, step onto the stage — Mortgage Loan Officer George Souto is here to roast you like a subprime lender in 2008:

“Ladies and gentlemen… this client right here walked into my office asking for a mortgage pre-approval with the confidence of someone whose credit score is in witness protection.
I looked at their finances and even Fannie Mae said, ‘Yeah… we’re gonna pass.’”

“You’ve got more overdraft fees than I’ve got LinkedIn connections — and trust me, I’m a loan officer, we collect connections like we collect income docs: obsessively and for no reason.”

“You said you wanted the lowest possible rate… buddy, with your debt-to-income ratio, the only rate you’re getting is the one the judge gives out at sentencing.”

“Your idea of ‘good financial planning’ is hoping your DoorDash driver accepts IOUs.”

“I’ve seen fixer-upper houses with more stability than your checking account.”

“The only thing you qualify for right now is a sympathy loan… and even that needs a co-signer.”"

I also used CoPilot to create the photo.  However, for the photo I asked CoPilot to create an energetic photo of me in the office, and I had CoPilot use a photo of me in my ActiveRain T-shirt.

I think that Gemini, ChatGPT, and CoPilot did a great job in capturing the spirt of the homework assignment, and I did OK at my first attempt at using AI.

George Souto - Oh my gosh! What a riot! This is hilarious and really good stuff! Your photos came out terrific! As for the photo of you wearing your suit in the office, you look Presidential! You could run for Governor in your state looking so sophisticated! For not having any experience I give you an A+++

Bravo! I love it!

Good morning, George... I loved both versions and giggled through both of them. I might never look at a loan officer in quite the same way again.

Oh, heck yes, George Souto you did more than okay!  The roasting was funny.

This was a fun read. I am glad you decided to jump in and do the Assignment. 

I still have my ActiveRain T-shirts - somehow I managed to have two of them.

WOW! George. I am still laughing at these AI initiated posts on you. I have to admit that I love that comment, "Without you, no one in CT would have a house". I need to give this a try and roast myself using AI

Hi George,
I remember reading your post when it was published and thought I commented but aparently I did not.  It came out so funny. I loved the line that said: 
Now give me 47 pay stubs, 19 bank statements, your firstborn, and a letter explaining why you bought a latte in 2019.”

Oh my gosh, this one was fantastic! I loved the ChatGPT roast and laughed out loud at several of the one-liners. I may never look at you the same way, George!! LOL 

Seriously, great job and those photos are fantastic! I can't wait for the discussion tomorrow! 

SO glad you did the homework - this one was perfect for the group, trying in lending and selling. I love it!
