I think that should be illegal and misrepresenting. Lots of gray area with AI usage.

California recently added new laws regarding AI in real estate. I think lighting corrections and cropping is allowed but other digitally altered images should include a link to the original. https://lewisbrisbois.com/insights/clientalerts/new-californ... https://dre.ca.gov/Licensees/Advisories/Advisory_2026_03_17_...

what is considered original? AI enhancements built into the camera will be part of the original?

Quite a few times I've seen permanent light fixtures that don't exist, vents that don't exist, room sizes that are obviously implied to be much larger than reality (e.g. they show a full-size bed, but there's only like 4 feet of space in that location), etc. I don't particularly mind fake furniture, but if it's very much not to scale I think it's pushing "probably fraud". And when permanent fixtures are fabricated, "…

Oh, and little touches like an ugly fence being replaced by a sweeping view of a beach or a mountain range.

lol. Minor touchups!

Anything which could have a material impact on the sale price which is misrepresented in images is fraud, plain and simple.

That's nice but it's on google's broken AI studio thing. I can't use half the stuff on there because it requires a Google One account. Which I'm ineligible for because I'm on a workspace account. Can I switch? No, because Google One doesn't support own domains. So I need to run (AND PAY!) two accounts to have both a nice email address and Banana? Starting to think the correct number of paid google accounts here is ze…

shameless plug burlap will let you just use keys from gemini studio or openai and try stuff out without messing with the web interfaces. that's (one reason) i made it https://www.burlap.app/download

That looks solid.

Alas UI isn't the problem. I want google to fix their broken plans.

Why can a FREE consumer account use antigravity but my $22 plan can't?

It's not even consistent within my account. I can generate a Banana 2 image in gemini interface but on aistudio it says I need to pay for an upgrade (which I can't).

Do they design their plans with a strong pull from a joint and a magic 8 ball?

It seems the solution could be quite simple. Basically you buy/rent whatever was advertised, and if reality doesn't match, welp thats a defect the seller/landlord must fix at their own expense. Room shows a vent but in reality there isn't one? Well, the seller has to install it or cover the costs of what an installation would cost.

That only works if the fix is cheaper than their lawyer. You’ll have to sue.

If you do sue and it’s a rental, good luck renting ever again. You’ll never pass the background checks.

The first example of generating home interiors fills me with indescribable hatred. Recently real estate agents have taken to running every dilapidated unsellable apartment through these AI filters, and you have to scroll through a dozen of these Ikea-chic images of what the apartment presumably could look like, before you are allowed to see the horrors they are trying to peddle at insane prices.

It already is in a lot of jurisdictions for photo-shopping photos.

Doctoring a photo slightly to make an area look larger, or just using a wide-angle lens though it can cause visible distortion. Removing unsightly poles, signs, trees, neighbouring properties was also common.

Making the sky bluer and removing clouds is acceptable.

I keep hoping the fucking barn doors people are putting in houses now are an AI illusion, but that's never the case. Barn doors. In the god damned house. Talk about a crime.

I imagine if these cameras are adding or remove furniture, appliances or modifying flooring or the landscaping via AI it will be a problem.

Edit: also if it becomes a big problem, in the future the law could be changed so that the real estate agent becomes liable to cover the cost of upgrading the property to match the altered image.

Well yeah. That's what they ran on, and people voted for it.

> just no longer have an appetite to do any kind of proactive enforcement

The overturning of the Chevron doctrine removed the ability of the government to do many kinds of proactive enforcement.

> Part of me feels like this is intentional and by design

It is absolutely intentional and by design. It aligns with other recent changes in the legal landscape, such as ending the ability for lower federal courts to issue nationwide injunctions. This requires more groups to accumulate more funds to pursue more lawsuits in more regions, re-establishing standing, re-establishing harms, re-arguing against the same harmful and illegal acts.

You're allowed to fight back, but only after you've been harmed, and only at great expense and effort, and with the deck stacked against you at every level.
