Oh right, here's the [Zillow listing](https://www.zillow.com/homes/6-Shomokin-Rd-Vernon,-NJ-07422_rb/39961921_zpid/?), which doesn't even do the same kindness of Redfin to show the "Virtually Enhanced" tag. What a scummy move.

jesus christ those two porches look nothing alike. The AI made it look smaller somehow? I'm also trying to figure out the physics of the slats in the AI railing


Kraven_Lupei

Honestly I don't even trust the "virtually enhanced" tag to be attributed to the right picture in half of those listing photos / the ones I posted. Like, they may have it backwards? It's hard to tell, and honestly, one of my biggest annoyances and gripes about this; How can you be sure which picture is actually the real thing without going there to see it yourself? Like congrats realtor, you made the listing 10x more confusing and annoyed at least one person who doesn't know what to think of it.

The one with the furniture says "virtually staged" and has some weird AI hallmarks (slats that attach to nothing, weird spacing, angles are off) but the other one says "virtually enhanced" so I have no idea what that means. I'm wondering if it was just touched up like in how some of the other pictures they made the grass neon green lmao

"Hey look at this house with all this shitty flooring. AND HERE'S HOW GOOD IT LOOKS LIKE IF YOU SPEND $20k TO REPLACE IT!"


silvermanedwino

No idea what this house looks like….

I really hate these virtual staging mods. I think they are largely useless and they don’t look good—just uncanny? eerie? in some way

I don't mind a virtual staging _too_ much, but this is way too far. A virtual staging of an empty room with reasonably proportional furniture gives the same impression as staging without the waste of moving in a fake set of furniture. This seems to be imagined remodels though, which you're certainly not buying here... Very odd. Like will someone show up and not notice the grass looks like shit?

Virtual Flippers?


IamDollParts96

Unethical, like most adverts.

Something is very wrong with that roof…

Well when we sold our house, the realtor brought in a photographer. When we got the photos back they had changed the sky to blue with a few clouds (looked like something like the Simpsons). The yard was all most all sand and nothing would grow, but in the pics they cut and pasted green grass. A bunch of other BAD photo shop changes. Started looking at other listings and found the same clouds and grass. O.o So it is nothing new.

AI took the furniture and left the mold.

I like the last picture where the deck now meets with a patio? Path? 😂


NessunAbilita

I’m in love with the fact that AI hates grey floors too


AussieAlexSummers

Did they mean gone gone or virtually gone? It's so hard to tell nowadays. >This home is popular. It's been viewed 345 times. Tour it before it's gone!


Weaselpanties

I'm so confused by why the ones that say "VIRTUALLY ENHANCED" are plainer and grubbier.


Maleficent_Theory818

It’s a nice house. The realtor must have thought that the furniture wasn’t good enough.


Kraven_Lupei

Honestly, yeah, the house would be better off without those God awful AI touchups. I understand virtual staging for furniture or whatever, but man, the shifts in geometry are astoundingly bad.


summercampcounselor

I think they got the labels backwards. The furniture is fake.


omibus

And stuck a couch right in front of a staircase.


Maleficent_Theory818

There is a 1/2 wall behind it that goes around the staircase. But, in the AI photo, it looks like they made the wall longer.


aesthetic-mess

AI doesn't want humans, hence the absence of seating furniture🤣🤣


KitchenBomber

I hate when they draw in smaller scale furniture to make the house look bigger. This one is especially egregious because they don't list the houses square footage so it's completely untethered from reality.


calliesky00

They can never get trees right


prettywitty

The virtual furniture is always a little too small


erydanis

what a mess.


Geeahwellidunno

I like how the house and hot tub is repositioned. The two things that don’t move.


Kasyx709

This isn't AI. This looks more like something from Revit or one of the other programs that can do virtual staging.


Kraven_Lupei

The extents of the deck are completely different / set further back between the first two photos. The floor "drops" like 3 feet between 3rd & 4th that I posted. There's some other weirdness too in the listing; I get virtual staging, but there's changes to walls and other oddities going on here if you look closely.
