What?
Is your claim that every photo will be labeled as AI-modified, or that people won't label AI-modified images? If the latter, just penalize the listing agents. Trivial.
The entire issue is that the platforms are already inundated with misleading, unlabeled AI-modified images.
- wmf 3mo agoEvery photo will be AI-enhanced and correctly labeled as such. Just like every Web site has a cookie warning.
- Gigachad 3mo agoAnalysis on steam shows not all games have the AI tag, and games which do sell measurably worse.
- PeterHolzwarth 3mo agoso therefore don't create laws or pass city ordinances? I don't understand your logic.
- wmf 3mo agoIf you want a particular outcome, legislate that outcome.
- jdiff 3mo agoThis site doesn't. Many don't.
- Gigachad 3mo agoThe sites that do have cookie banners tend to be the unbearable websites with 500 adverts, a full screen modal asking to sign up to the newsletter and redirecting you 30 times because you scrolled and touched the wrong element.
- 10000truths 3mo agoIf that ends up happening, then the next step would be for the platform to derank listings that contain AI-enhanced photos, to set the proper incentive. That would be up to the platform to enforce, though.
- ElProlactin 3mo agoWhat incentive does the platform have to do this? Ostensibly, the agents/landlords are the ones who pay, so you're asking the platform to bite the hands that feed it.
- lostmsu 3mo agoIf platform cared they would have fixed problems already.
- ssl-3 3mo agoThe platform can't fix what the platform is unaware of.
- ryukoposting 3mo agoIt's not "if." My mother-in-law is a realtor. She has a storage locker full of furniture for staging. I guarantee that the monthly cost of that locker, plus the cost of moving the furniture in and out of every property is an order of magnitude more expensive than whatever tool is doing the AI fake staging. The cost savings are too attractive.
- Polizeiposaune 3mo agoAnd it's no doubt smaller-than-typical furniture so the rooms look more roomy..
- ElProlactin 3mo ago> If the latter, just penalize the listing agents. Trivial. It's very unlikely to be trivial though because the state typically lacks the resources required to enforce things like this at scale. You'll need to find violators, meet a burden of proof that they violated the law, notify them, give them the right to defend themsleves against the allegation, etc. They'll almost certainly spend more time and money on the process than is ever collected if this ever happens.
- Calavar 3mo ago> They'll almost certainly spend more time and money on the process than is ever collected if this ever happens. The point of regulation isn't for the state to turn a profit. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that regulations that drive a monetary profit for the state are generally bad because they create a perverse incentive. For example, municipal governments adversely affect traffic flow by lowering speed limits because those lower speed limits generate more ticket revenue.
- ElProlactin 3mo agoYou're right that the point of regulation isn't to turn a "profit" but the laws of economics always apply. If you have a fine of $100 for a widespread practice that costs $1,000 to collect, the state isn't going to magically allocate resource to applying it. You could create a private right of action for this, but that is its own bag of worms.
- estearum 3mo ago> If you have a fine of $100 for a widespread practice that costs $1,000 to collect, the state isn't going to magically allocate resource to applying it. Seems empirically false given e.g. the immense investment we make in counter-drug enforcement.
- ElProlactin 3mo agoYou're ignoring how much money and power is found in the drug enforcement industrial complex. The point of drug enforcement is not to stop the drug trade.
