What if clients are interested in the property and want to see it, doesn't it need to be staged then anyways? I can see this as a good idea to employ AI, alas I would never purchase a home without seeing it in person, staged or not.

There are quite a few WayMo taxis in San Francisco. They only run in certain areas, but it's a start.

Right although there isn't really any intelligence in it. It's just state of the art pattern recognition. Although it may entertain guests with banter from some AI model

A guy in Santa Cruz was visiting a relative in SF and used the driverless taxis. He liked them. Don't know how they would plan to protect them from the street element. I'd hate to find a junky's needle in my ass after sitting down. I don't think an AI driverless taxi would take note of such things or check the seats.

The purpose of virtual staging is to show people how the room can be set up. If I’ve heard an agent say it once, I’ve heard it a hundred times…”People have no imagination on how to set up their furniture in an empty room”. This is the purpose of physically staging a home also but, the difference in price is $250 and $4,000 or even more. And that $4,000 can be per month until it sells.

Customer service at Amazon. Their AI customer service bot gives refunds even on non-returnable items. I like it a lot.

Mostly bs. Until you can run a driverless vehicle WITHOUT a backup driver and the autonomous vehicle company is on the hook for any accident damages (also provides the insurance), then we can talk.

also provides the insurance

Yeah, not gonna happen after the first fatal accident, which will happen. I've already had to do heavy braking to avoid an accident with a Tesla. I don't trust automated driving one bit. I've used it too. While cool, a human needs to be in control.

GPS goes off line. Sensors fail. Going blind while driving is almost impossible as a human as long as you're paying attention. Get rid of the distractions. A lot cheaper than a self driving car. I mean we all have a brain and eyes (mostly).

Not BS. 80% of computer code can now be reliably generated by AI. It's causing a bloodbath in employment in that sector.

High incomes but housing prices are still going up?

Bullshit. You will see the day where hordes of old fucks will have to rescue vibe code deployed to production. Any company relying on AI code without qualified engineers watching over it will go down in flames. Any reasonably smart coder can look up open source code to any topic and language they need to code in, copy that code and adjust it to their needs if he's smart enough to understand it. Takes the same amount of time than having AI generate some skeleton. It's good for short code snippets though and a second pair of eyes for common oversights/mistakes, and autocomplete.

That's because it's bs. Most of the employment reduction in programming were due to reversing the covid bump, and very little AI. AI has taken some personal assistance, customer service and HR jobs, film industry, not necessarily for the better, usually for the worse (so far).

Journalism.

Ceffer says

Journalism.

Agreed but its wasn't replaced with the same journalism, even a human leftist harridan harpie is able to create at least slightly better content than today's click bait. Basically blogs that create and manipulate stories to influence the general mood, either for political bias/influence or to generate money via the click bait ads once people start arguing for their "team" over artificial "news" click bait created by AI.

Not bullshit. Sorry dude, but Planet Reality bites.
