🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A browser extension that uses image analysis to flag potential AI-generated content on real estate platforms.
  2. A mandatory disclosure feature for Zillow that requires agents to label AI-enhanced or AI-generated images.
  3. A community-driven reporting tool that allows users to submit evidence of AI-generated images for platform review.

“Many listings are using AI images 1:1 with photographs of the property. Demonstrating only imagined “potential” is fraudulent. Reporting AI rendered images is nearly impossible.”
