Australian real estate agent hallucinates two schools in rental listing
- tiew9Vii 2y agoAustralian realestate is notoriously broken. Look at listings on realestate.com.au. A lot of listings will have something on the lines of: images are representative of the property for advertising purposes only and may not reflect the property. They use AI to do virtual touch ups/generate the images rather than use the real images to hide the mould and warts
- blitzar 2y agoIn an "easy" market sellers and agents get lazy, doing the bare minimum to earn their money and move on to the next comission; and there is no easier market than selling property in Australia.
- jiggawatts 2y agoFake grass was the first thing that caught my attention. Also, using photos from the previous time the property was listed, possibly a decade ago when it looked newer and cleaner.
- lysp 2y agoEvery second listing also makes use of the iPhone "stretch" camera feature. They always do this to small rooms and kitchen benches to make them appear larger.

- loliver666 2y agoLying AI and lying estate agents are a perfect match.
- exe34 2y agoi was just thinking, surely that makes it a "good" estate agent, by the standards of estate agencies.
- lotsofpulp 2y agoIt’s bizarre to me that people would even read descriptions in listings when looking for homes when you can see a map with all available homes and filter for exactly what you want.
- left-struck 2y agoWell after looking at the map and finding a potential house then you need to read the description… Idk what it’s like these days but it used to be that looking at the map only or using the filters isn’t anywhere near enough because there’s plenty of “mistakes” that happen to benefit the listed property and bypasses your filter. Like listing a property as the wrong type, or listing a room for rent under houses for rent, etc. A house purchase is a massive decision, why wouldn’t you read everything and anything you can find about the house, what are you even talking about lol
- lotsofpulp 2y agoSpecifically for this reason. The seller has much more incentive to provide false information than Google maps. Before comprehensive maps, street view, high definition video and pictures, etc, one might have had to read what a seller or their agent says. But now, I might only read a description after a given property meets my location/size/age/etc criteria, but I assume I need to verify whatever information the seller is providing.
- randomdata 2y agoExactly what I want (or exactly what I don't want) is often a unique attribute of a home that is only available in the description. The higher level filters are a good way to narrow things down, but lacking in specific details. While you can progress interest to find that kind of thing out as well, it saves a lot of hassle when the description is right there.
- blitzar 2y agoDid the Ai scanning the listings like the property?
