The AI Riff (Ep22) - AI Slop, Staged Homes & the “No Jobs Lost” Reality Check

AI “slop” has hit real estate: we unpack AI-staged listing photos, why labeling matters, and the downstream risks for appraisals, PIWs, and sight-unseen buys. Then we tackle jobs: a Yale Budget Lab study finds no economy-wide employment shock (yet) from generative AI—so where are the real gains?
