AI housefishing?
a rising fraudulent trend known in the real estate industry as “housefishing,” where landlords use technology to mask property defects.
This is NOT a new thing at all. Even 10 years ago apartments had photo shopped clean walls and you go see it to find shitty dirty/damaged walls.
Iirc, landlords never had any actual photoshopping skills and mostly just used old pictures or simply didn't take pictures of the stuff they didn't want to show.
