#62Isn’t the more thorough solution banning deceptive product advertising?
It feels like this is already a whole thing that should already be solved.

Zillow quotes: "The average rent for all bedrooms and all property types in New York, NY is $3,710."
Where are your figures sourced from?

#64Earlier quoted context omitted.
That kind of regulation has failed over and over. The obvious outcome is that every listing will have misleading AI "photos".
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.
Every photo will be AI-enhanced and correctly labeled as such.
Just like every Web site has a cookie warning.

#65This is awesome! StreetEasy is how many New Yorkers find apartments. In the past few years, it has been flooded with AI-staged apartments. The AI stagings warp the room to fit furniture that would 100% certainly not fit there. It’s deceptive, and I’m glad it at least requires disclosure now (although I wish it were fully banned)
It's super annoying, but this is a total nothing burger because he doesn't actually have any power to do anything here.
This has also been a problem long before AI with "virtually staged" apartments.

#66Wasn't that already implicitly the case? Aren't there laws against deceptive advertising?
It sounds like an incredibly sensible rule. But is this something a mayor can just declare? Isn't this something aa legislative body has to decide?

#67Are protections really this weak in New York?
Where I live even using Photoshop for real estate advertisements is illegal, nevermind AI.

#68Isn't literally every photograph taken with a modern iPhone technically an "AI-generated / AI-edited image"?
Given that this would be the first ever law with any degree of ambiguity ever created, we should create some type of like... room... maybe call it a "court"... where people could "judge" whether a person fell on the allowable or disallowable end of the spectrum It's a groundbreaking idea but it might work. And who knows, maybe it's an innovation we could apply to other areas of law in case they also ever need to inte…

Landlords in nyc are doing business in nyc, which means the city can regulate them, does it not?

Why are you so certain of this? Oh it was a problem before so we should just keep doing nothing even though it will almost certainly become exponentially worse with AI? Love this plan.
