Realtors Are Using AI Images of Homes They're Selling. Comparing Them to the Real Thing Will Make You Mad as Hell

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-12 08:15:54

As if suspiciously AI-generated descriptions of real estate listings weren't enough, agents are starting to use AI-generated images of houses that don't exist to sell expensive properties. The Register spotted a dubious listing of a fully renovated 3-bedroom in the UK with a photo — which has since been deleted, but can still be viewed in an archived version — that shows the tell-tale signs of generative AI, including awnings that don't line up, hedges that inexplicably turn into walls, and a f

I just want a new Pixel Stand with my Pixel 10, Google

Robert Triggs / Android Authority The Pixel Stand debuted alongside the Pixel 3 and 3XL almost seven years ago, and it was my favorite accessory for those phones. Adding useful Google Assistant features and faster Qi charging made it a must-have accessory for Pixels, and I used it every day. Outside of the iPhone and HMD Skyline supporting MagSafe and Qi2, respectively, wireless charging has been stagnant since then. 2021’s Pixel Stand 2 made some minor improvements to the Pixel Stand formula,

Intermittent fasting strategies and their effects on body weight

This meta-analysis concurrently and comprehensively evaluates the association of intermittent fasting, CER, and ad-libitum diets on cardiometabolic risk factors. Our findings showed a trivial to small reduction in body weight for all diet strategies compared with ad-libitum, and trivial reductions for ADF compared with CER, TRE, and WDF. These associations, however, were only significant among comparisons with ad-libitum diet in moderate-to-long term follow-up durations of at least 24 weeks. ADF

New Study Finds Smartwatches Aren’t That Good at Measuring Stress

Some health enthusiasts swear by smartwatches as a way to monitor stress levels, but a recent study calls into question that common usage. The study, published in the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science, claims that such watches display a very limited ability to actually communicate what a person’s psychological state is. Sometimes, a watch may think the user is stressed when they’re really just excited about something, researchers say. The report looked at nearly 800 students who w

New adhesive surface modeled on a remora works underwater

Most adhesives can’t stick to wet surfaces because water and other fluids disrupt the adhesive’s bonding mechanisms. This problem, though, has been beautifully solved by evolution in remora suckerfish, which use an adhesive disk on top of their heads to attach to animals like dolphins, sharks, and even manta rays. A team of MIT scientists has now taken a close look at these remora disks and reverse-engineered them. “Basically, we looked at nature for inspiration,” says Giovanni Traverso, a prof
