I didn't say I had a problem with it; I was just stating that it's very commonplace and it has nothing to do with 'renter's mentality' as it happened when purchasing a home (this is the 4th home I've purchased in my lifetime).

There are LOTS of specialized niche forms of business that AI can do to a certain degree. Often as well as, or better than, people. (Remember, LLMs are only one facet of AI, though a very publicized one.) More usually, at least right now, the AI can only do a part of the job better than people, and totally can't handle another part. But that means you need fewer people.

OTOH, expect most AI applications to fail. That was what happened when computers first started to be widely applied. But the ones we remember are the successes.

** letter. SIGH.

If only there were a noun form of the adjective "female" used when applied to a human. Maybe something beginning with the word "w", I dunno.

Did you actually expect the house to come with furniture, without an explicit statement that it's furnished?

What if the previous owner hadn't left yet, and the pictures were of the previous owner's furniture - would you have just presumed that you get their furniture?

I don't see any issue with this. Real estate agents used to virtually insert furniture via non-AI means. Here you're just going to be having an AI model that generates a depth map from the existing space and is then allowed to imagine in whatever furniture is described to fit into that depth map - it just makes the process easier / faster (letting the agent iterate through possibilities faster) and better looking.

A person with a 'management' title has no theoretical limit to the top end of their salary. Everyone else does.

I'll agree that it's fiction created by an AI (probably), but not that it's what it meant by slop. Not unless it's very carelessly done.

What it *is* is AI generated deceptive advertising.

I'm sorry your co-workers have dysfunctional families. But they will move away to different places to find work, so they won't be near you to give support.

I just bought a house in March. Any listing where the home was already vacated (95% in my case) the listing was AI-augmented with furniture that would not exist when I went to tour the home.

This has nothing to do w/renting; it's everywhere.

Sorry, but that's not a general truth, and the deduction that "such that we wanted to have kids, sex would suck" is neither justified not justifiable. Many people *do* want to have kids. Sufficiently so that they even adopt them.

You're part right. Yes, "You really have to enjoy kids for their own sake to make it a net lifetime benefit", but that's not sufficient. In modern society it's *going* to be a net cost, and not a small one. And if you don't spend much time with them, the benefits necessarily decrease.

FWIW, it was discovered in India in the 1950's that giving a village a TV would decrease the birth rate. Alternative choices of activity are important factors.

It's not just that. In the past kids were only a slight economic cost. They were only a slight opportunity cost. And they were the support for when you became too elderly to work.

None of those are true anymore.

The current system has well known and expectable failure modes. This, unfortunately, cannot be true of any replacement system.

Real D&D didn't involve computers. (It often did involve painting purchased figurines.)

Actually, I expect that parts of the TSMC assembly factories are automated, which would make them "AI factories". A computer center is not an "AI Factory" unless it is running a factory.

Another plausible meaning would be an organization that turns out AIs, like OpenAI or Anthropic.

Most other uses are abuse of the language.
