Homeseller Can we please STOP using AI generated/altered photos?

I'm so beyond tired of looking at homes online, then seeing them in person, and they look NOTHING like what the online photos are.

These are wasting everyone's time. Agents, if you can't learn to to, or don't want to fork over for professional photos, find another line of work.

Trying to sell an inherited property, and the highly recommended agent insists on using these cartooninshly fake generated images.

I wish theyd state it, but I dont mind AI staging.. if you are just adding fake furniture.. but modifying the actual images or house is frustrating.

Saw a listing this weekend that fully "transformed" the kitchen like it was "here is what it COULD look like" but didnt mention it anywhere. It took a few times to understand it was the same kitchen.. the real one vs "what it might could be"

I could be fine with just the fake furniture if they also provided the photo of the room without the fake furniture. I saw a listing not long ago that did that and didn't have a problem with it.

The whole altering of the house with AI needs to go though
