Serious question, has anyone else seen AI help with a house showing?

I was at an open house in Tempe last week and the agent had this AI tool that created a custom 3D tour for a buyer who couldn't make it. It wasn't just a video, it answered questions about room sizes and sunlight. What other real-world jobs are getting changed by stuff like this?

That 3D tour thing is cool but I'm not sold on AI taking over real jobs yet. My buddy works construction and they tried some AI tool for reading blueprints. It kept missing small errors that a human would spot right away. For stuff like real estate or building things, you still need someone with actual experience in the room. The tech is neat but it's just a fancy helper.

Totally get where your buddy is coming from. The real worry might be companies using a barely-tested AI to cut corners, not to help. That pressure to replace people with a cheaper, flawed tool could actually make more mistakes, not less. It becomes less about the tech itself and more about how it's rushed into places it doesn't fit yet.

Yeah, exactly like what mark361 was saying about the blueprints. A friend in accounting told me their boss brought in some AI to check invoices. It kept flagging normal payments as wrong because it couldn't understand basic contract terms. They spent more time fixing its mistakes than if they'd just done it the old way. It was clearly just a cost-cutting move that backfired. The rush to use it before it was ready caused way more problems than it solved.
