A friend recently shared a newspaper article about his company. I hadn't seen him in a little while, and I told him how great he looked. Turns out, an AI-assisted image was used. It surprised me - I had hoped/expected more from that paper.
The only thing that can be surprising about real estate agents doing it would be if anyone was surprised.
Fortunately the kind of AI generated images as described in this article is broadly against real estate board rules across most of North America.
At least where I live, you can use AI to put furniture in empty rooms and to remove temporary objects from photos (Like cars in front of a house, or photos from a wall inside the house) but pretty much every other type of AI generated imagery is strictly prohibited and will result in substantial fines and potential loss of their license if an agent is caught using them.
