My prediction is that someone will create a Generative Photo app for real estate agents, every house listing will have a bunch of crappy generated "photos" of what the interiors could look like. The developer of it will become a billionaire. The fad will last 3 years and then stop as they realise it just puts people off.
I will then look back at this comment in three years time, and think "that cold have been me"...
This has already happened. I have gone to see listings where I didn’t realize until I was there that the photos were fake, and that the place was actually a mess.
Yup, it's called "virtual staging".
I’ve been seeing simulated decor in real estate listing for years. I think this could actually could persist for a while
Yes, but going by how badly written real estate listings listings are, imaging letting them loose on generative AI!
