In the age of generative AI, not all is what it seems. From photorealistic videos of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's head grotesquely poking out of a toiletto AI chatbots that can blaze through a Turing Test without raising suspicion, it's never been harder to distinguish between reality and a fiction dreamed up by an AI. Still, some instances of AI use still stand out like a sore thumb. Take, for instance, this Zillow listing for a single-family rental home in Detroit, Michigan.

While MLS listings are useful, they come with a major drawback: distractions. Buyers scrolling through the MLS are constantly tempted by other properties. A single-property website solves this problem. It provides one central hub where buyers can learn everything about your home - photos, videos, floor plans, neighborhood guides, and even community events - without clicking away to competitor listings.

Many buyers struggle to picture themselves in a home, especially when it's empty or styled differently from their own, the release states. Virtual Staging gives them a quick, interactive way to see how it could look and feel in a style they love. The launch of Virtual Staging is the first major integration Zillow has made since its acquisition of Virtual Staging AI last October.
