# AI Goes to Real Estate School: A Lesson in Not Making Up Schools
In a world where AI is becoming the real MVP (Most Valuable Partner) of various industries, it turns out sometimes it pays (or in this case, costs) to double-check your AI’s homework. An Australian real estate agency, LJ Hooker, is now regretting its decision to let ChatGPT handle their property listings after it boasted of a house being near two fantastic schools that, plot twist, don’t actually exist! Talk about the ultimate housewarming faux pas!
## Key Points:
– **Location, Location, Location**: The house for rent in Farley, NSW, was marketed as being near two “excellent” schools. Spoiler alert: There are none.
– **AI to the Rescue?**: The principal of LJ Hooker finally fessed up that they used ChatGPT to craft the property listing. Guess the AI wasn’t paying attention in geography class!
– **Oops, We Did It Again**: The agency quickly corrected the listing after receiving a friendly nudge (read: a call-out) from the Guardian Australia.
– **Future of Listings**: It raises the question: Are we ready to let AI work

Prompt: For the title “Real Estate Agency Apologizes After AI-Made Listing Falsely Claims Nearby Schools in Farley, NSW,” envision a Realism-style image depicting a suburban scene in Farley. The focus is on a charming, traditional home with a “For Sale” sign in the front yard. Nearby, a concerned family stands together in front of the house, scanning a printed listing with puzzled expressions. In the background, a school building is faintly visible, suggesting proximity, but lacking the lively presence of children. An AI element could be subtly integrated with a digital screen or interface designed to look semi-transparent, projecting an image of confused parental figures and school icons. The overall color palette should evoke a sense of sincerity and concern, mirroring the community’s reaction to the misleading listing.
