Isn't literally every photograph taken with a modern iPhone technically an "AI-generated / AI-edited image"?
How often would you say you prompt your camera to líe about you in a bid to rent yourself

That kind of regulation has failed over and over. The obvious outcome is that every listing will have misleading AI "photos".
Come on, there is no such thing as "trace amounts of AI" in a photo of a building.
Not that I like the idea of it, but I could see adding furniture to empty apartment photos. A furnished apartment probably sells better than an empty one.

#54Wait, this seems to be just about _disclosing_ the use of AI?
So realtor websites will get a tiny footer saying "image experience may be enhanced with AI"
(note my skilled use of "may" which actually means "are always 100% of the time"... ugh i hate it so much)

And photos of a furnished property give a better sense of the size of the space, and what can be done with it, than photos of empty rooms. (So long as the furnishings are sized realistically, of course.)

#56Requiring disclosure seems obvious. Using AI for these pics is also not inherently deceptive though. I live in an extremely overheated housing market where properties are usually sold/rented long before they actually get completed. I'm fine with landlords using AI in their renders to make claims about how the place will eventually look. You also see people using AI to put furniture into the image (I assume they are a…
Why not just put the floor plan with no photos then, or just photos of an empty room with white walls? I can imagine myself how a room _could_ look, what added value does your imagined version add?

In the 1960s Campbells Soup got in trouble with the FTC for using marbles to raise the ingredients and make the soup look fuller than it was. This was the real standard for deceptive advertising. I dont care about simulating furniture placement specifically, but most use of AI in advertising that I see today would not be acceptable under that standard.
I would love to see that statement backed up with data. If you look at the other comments they are talking about more than just furniture
Yeah on second read I realize my comment was unclear; I don’t think this is okay. Fixed.

#58HN title is missing the operative word "secretly". The real title: > Mayor Mamdani Says Landlords Can’t Secretly Use AI Images to Advertise Properties The article contents align with the real title: you just disclose AI usage when advertising rentals.

And? Anything else and it would be a first amendment violation.

No? There are many things you are not allowed to say when advertising, many ways in which you are not allowed to advertise. Fraud is not legal, and I have yet to see anyone make a free speech case for it.
