RESEARCH

The real estate market has entered its AI slop era

Listings are looking better than ever, too good, in fact. AI tools are generating fake videos, fake voices, even fake staircases. And buyers are catching on.

Here’s everything you need to know:

• Realtors are using AI to create full video tours with no actual footage.

• Apps like AutoReel can fabricate home walk-throughs in minutes.

• Some videos feature furniture, architecture, and lighting that don't exist.

• AI-generated listings have shown staircases to nowhere and fake windows.

• One Michigan homeowner spotted a doctored kitchen missing its real cabinets.

• Platforms like Reddit are surfacing more of these AI-altered listings.

• Experts warn this isn’t “enhanced marketing”, it’s potential consumer deception.

Buying a home is emotional and high-stakes. When tech distorts the truth even subtly, it corrodes trust in the entire process. AI can enhance listings, sure. But once it starts hallucinating features, it’s not selling a home. It’s selling fiction.

POLICY

Tech giants lose bid to mine copyrighted works in Australia

The Australian government has officially shut down proposals to let AI companies scrape copyrighted material without permission. It’s a big win for artists and a strong global signal.

Here’s everything you need to know:

• Tech firms pushed for a “text and data mining” exception under copyright law.

• The exemption would’ve allowed AI tools to train on music, books, and art without paying.

• Creators warned it would legitimize mass-scale intellectual property theft.

• Attorney-General Michelle Rowland confirmed: the proposal is dead.

• Music bodies like ARIA and APRA AMCOS praised the move as “cultural sovereignty.”

• Even Spotify backed artists over big tech, citing the importance of copyright.

• Industry leaders now want tech firms to license material properly, not exploit legal grey zones.

AI isn’t above the law and it shouldn’t be. This is a clear example of a government valuing human creativity over automation shortcuts. The next challenge? Making sure enforcement and licensing aren’t just promises, but practice.

PROFITS

AI is powering a silent boom in European tech

European tech earnings are beating the street and by a wide margin. Thanks to a surge in AI investment, the sector is outpacing forecasts and defying trade headwinds.

Here’s everything you need to know:

• Q3 earnings for MSCI Europe Tech are up 16% nearly 4x what analysts expected.

• That’s with 86% of the sector’s market cap already reporting.

• It’s the strongest showing of any industry in the region.

• AI demand is the key driver, fueling both software and infrastructure gains.

• Investors had braced for global trade turbulence to slow growth but it didn’t.

• The results highlight Europe’s quiet but potent position in the AI race.

• Sectors lagging behind may start shifting strategy toward AI-native models.

We tend to focus on Silicon Valley or Shenzhen when talking AI. But Europe’s showing that a steady, infrastructure-first approach can deliver outsize results especially when the hype cycle starts turning into real demand.
