Humans are not perfectly vigilant

I'm on tour with my new, nationally bestselling novel The Bezzle! Catch me in BOSTON with Randall "XKCD" Munroe (Apr 11), then PROVIDENCE (Apr 12), and beyond!

Here's a fun AI story: a security researcher noticed that large companies' AI-authored source-code repeatedly referenced a nonexistent library (an AI "hallucination"), so he created a (defanged) malicious library with that name and uploaded it, and thousands of developers automatically downloaded and incorporated it as they compiled the code:

https://www.theregister.com/2024/03/28/ai_bots_hallucinate_software_packages/

These "hallucinations" are a stubbornly persistent feature of large language models, because these models only give the illusion of understanding; in reality, they are just sophisticated forms of autocomplete, drawing on huge databases to make shrewd (but reliably fallible) guesses about which word comes next:

https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3442188.3445922

Guessing the next word without understanding the meaning of the resulting sentence makes unsupervised LLMs unsuitable for high-stakes tasks. The whole AI bubble is based on convincing investors that one or more of the following is true:

There are low-stakes, high-value tasks that will recoup the massive costs of AI training and operation;

There are high-stakes, high-value tasks that can be made cheaper by adding an AI to a human operator;

Adding more training data to an AI will make it stop hallucinating, so that it can take over high-stakes, high-value tasks without a "human in the loop."

These are dubious propositions. There's a universe of low-stakes, low-value tasks – political disinformation, spam, fraud, academic cheating, nonconsensual porn, dialog for video-game NPCs – but none of them seem likely to generate enough revenue for AI companies to justify the billions spent on models, nor the trillions in valuation attributed to AI companies:

https://locusmag.com/2023/12/commentary-cory-doctorow-what-kind-of-bubble-is-ai/

The proposition that increasing training data will decrease hallucinations is hotly contested among AI practitioners. I confess that I don't know enough about AI to evaluate opposing sides' claims, but even if you stipulate that adding lots of human-generated training data will make the software a better guesser, there's a serious problem. All those low-value, low-stakes applications are flooding the internet with botshit. After all, the one thing AI is unarguably very good at is producing bullshit at scale. As the web becomes an anaerobic lagoon for botshit, the quantum of human-generated "content" in any internet core sample is dwindling to homeopathic levels:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/03/14/inhuman-centipede/#enshittibottification

This means that adding another order of magnitude more training data to AI won't just add massive computational expense – the data will be many orders of magnitude more expensive to acquire, even without factoring in the additional liability arising from new legal theories about scraping:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/17/how-to-think-about-scraping/

That leaves us with "humans in the loop" – the idea that an AI's business model is selling software to businesses that will pair it with human operators who will closely scrutinize the code's guesses. There's a version of this that sounds plausible – the one in which the human operator is in charge, and the AI acts as an eternally vigilant "sanity check" on the human's activities.

For example, my car has a system that notices when I activate my blinker while there's another car in my blind-spot. I'm pretty consistent about checking my blind spot, but I'm also a fallible human and there've been a couple times where the alert saved me from making a potentially dangerous maneuver. As disciplined as I am, I'm also sometimes forgetful about turning off lights, or waking up in time for work, or remembering someone's phone number (or birthday). I like having an automated system that does the robotically perfect trick of never forgetting something important.

There's a name for this in automation circles: a "centaur." I'm the human head, and I've fused with a powerful robot body that supports me, doing things that humans are innately bad at.

That's the good kind of automation, and we all benefit from it. But it only takes a small twist to turn this good automation into a nightmare. I'm speaking here of the reverse-centaur: automation in which the computer is in charge, bossing a human around so it can get its job done. Think of Amazon warehouse workers, who wear haptic bracelets and are continuously observed by AI cameras as autonomous shelves shuttle in front of them and demand that they pick and pack items at a pace that destroys their bodies and drives them mad:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/04/17/revenge-of-the-chickenized-reverse-centaurs/

Automation centaurs are great: they relieve humans of drudgework and let them focus on the creative and satisfying parts of their jobs. That's how AI-assisted coding is pitched: rather than looking up tricky syntax and other tedious programming tasks, an AI "co-pilot" is billed as freeing up its human "pilot" to focus on the creative puzzle-solving that makes coding so satisfying.

But an hallucinating AI is a terrible co-pilot. It's just good enough to get the job done much of the time, but it also sneakily inserts booby-traps that are statistically guaranteed to look as plausible as the good code (that's what a next-word-guessing program does: guesses the statistically most likely word).

This turns AI-"assisted" coders into reverse centaurs. The AI can churn out code at superhuman speed, and you, the human in the loop, must maintain perfect vigilance and attention as you review that code, spotting the cleverly disguised hooks for malicious code that the AI can't be prevented from inserting into its code. As "Lena" writes, "code review [is] difficult relative to writing new code":

https://twitter.com/qntm/status/1773779967521780169

Why is that? "Passively reading someone else's code just doesn't engage my brain in the same way. It's harder to do properly":

https://twitter.com/qntm/status/1773780355708764665

There's a name for this phenomenon: "automation blindness." Humans are just not equipped for eternal vigilance. We get good at spotting patterns that occur frequently – so good that we miss the anomalies. That's why TSA agents are so good at spotting harmless shampoo bottles on X-rays, even as they miss nearly every gun and bomb that a red team smuggles through their checkpoints:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/08/23/automation-blindness/#humans-in-the-loop

"Lena"'s thread points out that this is as true for AI-assisted driving as it is for AI-assisted coding: "self-driving cars replace the experience of driving with the experience of being a driving instructor":

https://twitter.com/qntm/status/1773841546753831283

In other words, they turn you into a reverse-centaur. Whereas my blind-spot double-checking robot allows me to make maneuvers at human speed and points out the things I've missed, a "supervised" self-driving car makes maneuvers at a computer's frantic pace, and demands that its human supervisor tirelessly and perfectly assesses each of those maneuvers. No wonder Cruise's murderous "self-driving" taxis replaced each low-waged driver with 1.5 high-waged technical robot supervisors:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/01/11/robots-stole-my-jerb/#computer-says-no

AI radiology programs are said to be able to spot cancerous masses that human radiologists miss. A centaur-based AI-assisted radiology program would keep the same number of radiologists in the field, but they would get less done: every time they assessed an X-ray, the AI would give them a second opinion. If the human and the AI disagreed, the human would go back and re-assess the X-ray. We'd get better radiology, at a higher price (the price of the AI software, plus the additional hours the radiologist would work).

But back to making the AI bubble pay off: for AI to pay off, the human in the loop has to reduce the costs of the business buying an AI. No one who invests in an AI company believes that their returns will come from business customers to agree to increase their costs. The AI can't do your job, but the AI salesman can convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI anyway – that pitch is the most successful form of AI disinformation in the world.

An AI that "hallucinates" bad advice to fliers can't replace human customer service reps, but airlines are firing reps and replacing them with chatbots:

https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20240222-air-canada-chatbot-misinformation-what-travellers-should-know

An AI that "hallucinates" bad legal advice to New Yorkers can't replace city services, but Mayor Adams still tells New Yorkers to get their legal advice from his chatbots:

https://arstechnica.com/ai/2024/03/nycs-government-chatbot-is-lying-about-city-laws-and-regulations/

The only reason bosses want to buy robots is to fire humans and lower their costs. That's why "AI art" is such a pisser. There are plenty of harmless ways to automate art production with software – everything from a "healing brush" in Photoshop to deepfake tools that let a video-editor alter the eye-lines of all the extras in a scene to shift the focus. A graphic novelist who models a room in The Sims and then moves the camera around to get traceable geometry for different angles is a centaur – they are genuinely offloading some finicky drudgework onto a robot that is perfectly attentive and vigilant.

But the pitch from "AI art" companies is "fire your graphic artists and replace them with botshit." They're pitching a world where the robots get to do all the creative stuff (badly) and humans have to work at robotic pace, with robotic vigilance, in order to catch the mistakes that the robots make at superhuman speed.

Reverse centaurism is brutal. That's not news: Charlie Chaplin documented the problems of reverse centaurs nearly 100 years ago:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Times_(film)

As ever, the problem with a gadget isn't what it does: it's who it does it for and who it does it to. There are plenty of benefits from being a centaur – lots of ways that automation can help workers. But the only path to AI profitability lies in reverse centaurs, automation that turns the human in the loop into the crumple-zone for a robot:

How to Determine How Much You’re House Is Worth in New Zealand: A Comprehensive Guide

When it comes to selling or buying property, understanding the value of a house is crucial. For homeowners in New Zealand, knowing how much their property is worth can help them make informed decisions whether they are looking to sell, refinance, or simply want to track their investment’s growth. One of the most reliable ways to determine property value is through professional Auckland property valuations, but there are also several tools and methods available for those who are curious about the value of their home. This article will explore how to find out "how much is my house worth NZ" and why Auckland property valuations are essential.

Understanding the Basics of Property Valuations

A property valuation is the process of determining the market value of a property at a given point in time. Several factors influence property valuations, including the size of the home, the location, the condition of the property, and recent sales of similar homes in the area. For homeowners in New Zealand, property valuations are an essential part of the real estate market. Whether you’re a buyer, seller, or investor, having an accurate estimate of your property’s value is key.

Valuations are often used in various real estate activities such as:

Buying or selling a property

Refinance or mortgage purposes

Insuring the property

Investment analysis

Taxation purposes

How to Find Out "How Much Is My House Worth NZ?"

In New Zealand, there are several ways to assess how much your house is worth. The following methods are commonly used by homeowners, buyers, and sellers alike.

1. Online Property Valuation Tools

One of the easiest ways to get an estimate of your home's value is by using online property valuation tools. Websites like "Whatsmy Housevalue" offer free or low-cost valuations based on recent sales data and other relevant property details. These tools provide an instant estimate, giving you a rough idea of your home’s market worth. However, these estimates are not always 100% accurate since they rely on available data, and they do not take into account the unique characteristics of your property.

2. Real Estate Agent Appraisal

Another method for determining how much your house is worth in NZ is through a real estate agent’s appraisal. An agent can visit your property, take into account its condition, features, and other important factors, and compare it with similar properties in the area that have recently sold. This approach often provides a more accurate estimate than online tools since real estate agents have an in-depth understanding of the local market. Many agents offer free property appraisals, making it a valuable option for homeowners looking to sell their properties.

3. Hire a Professional Valuer

For a more formal and comprehensive valuation, homeowners can hire a professional valuer. A registered property valuer will assess the property in person, consider all relevant factors, and provide a written report detailing their findings. These valuations are more accurate and reliable for those needing precise figures for legal, financial, or investment purposes. A professional valuer will consider factors such as the property’s size, condition, location, and any recent renovations or changes to the property.

4. Check Recent Sales in Your Area

Another way to gauge the value of your home is by reviewing recent sales of similar properties in your area. This is particularly useful in determining the current market trends. You can access this information through real estate websites or through the New Zealand Property Report. Understanding the prices of homes that are similar to yours, in terms of size, features, and location, will help you estimate how much your property is worth.

5. Use Automated Valuation Models (AVMs)

Automated Valuation Models (AVMs) are computer-generated property valuation tools that analyze massive amounts of data to estimate property values. These models typically use publicly available data, including recent sales, property tax assessments, and other market conditions. While AVMs can be convenient, it is important to note that they may not always take into account specific conditions of your home, such as recent renovations or unique features.

Auckland Property Valuations: Why They Matter

Auckland, being the largest city in New Zealand, has a highly dynamic property market. If you live in Auckland, understanding the importance of property valuations in this area is essential. The Auckland property market is influenced by factors such as:

High demand for housing due to population growth

The availability of land for new developments

Economic factors such as interest rates and employment

Local government policies and infrastructure investments

Due to the unique nature of the Auckland property market, obtaining a professional Auckland property valuation is often recommended. A registered valuer with local expertise can assess the property’s value in the context of these market dynamics.

How Auckland Property Valuations Are Conducted

An Auckland property valuation typically involves a detailed inspection of your home and an analysis of factors such as:

Location: Auckland’s property market is divided into various suburbs, each with its own unique characteristics and price trends. A property in the central business district (CBD) will generally have a higher value than one in more suburban or rural areas.

Size and Layout: The size of the land and the house itself, as well as the layout, play an important role in determining the value. Larger homes with more bedrooms and bathrooms often fetch higher prices.

Condition: The overall condition of the property, including the age of the building, the state of repairs, and any recent renovations, can significantly influence the valuation.

Market Trends: Valuers will also take into account current market trends in Auckland. This includes looking at recent sales in the area and understanding if the market is trending upward or downward.

Benefits of Accurate Property Valuations

Knowing the precise value of your property can help you make informed decisions about selling, buying, or investing in property. Here are some of the key benefits of accurate property valuations:

1. Informed Decision Making

An accurate property valuation helps you make decisions based on the current market value rather than assumptions or guesswork. Whether you're considering selling your property, refinancing, or making improvements, a valuation can give you the confidence to take the next step.

2. Price Expectations for Selling

If you’re looking to sell your property, an accurate valuation will help you set a realistic asking price. Overpricing a property can result in it sitting on the market for too long, while underpricing can mean leaving money on the table. A valuation helps you strike the right balance.

3. Negotiation Leverage

Having a clear understanding of your property's value gives you an edge in negotiations. Whether you're negotiating a sale or refinancing with a bank, being armed with a professional valuation will ensure you’re not taken advantage of.

4. Financial Planning

For property investors, a proper valuation provides insights into whether a property is a good investment. It allows investors to assess capital growth potential, rental yield, and the overall return on investment.

Conclusion

In New Zealand, knowing how much your house is worth is an essential aspect of property ownership. Whether you're looking to sell, buy, or simply get a better understanding of your investment, the methods outlined in this article offer valuable insights. From using online tools like "Whatsmy Housevalue" to obtaining professional Auckland property valuations, there are several options to explore. Remember that while online tools provide a quick estimate, hiring a professional valuer or working with a real estate agent will give you a more accurate and reliable assessment.

No matter which approach you choose, understanding the value of your property is crucial for making sound decisions in the ever-changing New Zealand real estate market.

Increased Efficiency and Accuracy

One of the most significant benefits of using drones for land surveying is the remarkable increase in both efficiency and accuracy. Traditional land surveying methods often require surveyors to traverse large areas on foot, manually taking measurements with ground-based equipment. This process is not only time-consuming but can also be prone to human error.

Drones, on the other hand, are equipped with high-precision GPS systems, LiDAR sensors, and high-resolution cameras, which allow them to capture vast amounts of data from the air in a much shorter time. The data gathered is highly accurate, including topographic maps, 3D models, and detailed elevation profiles. This precision is essential for industries such as construction and urban planning, where even slight errors in measurements can lead to costly delays or structural problems.

With drones, surveyors can complete a job that would typically take days or even weeks in just a few hours. The ability to quickly capture data from inaccessible or hazardous locations further enhances operational efficiency. Drones also provide real-time data transmission, allowing project managers and clients to assess progress and make decisions immediately, leading to better project management and faster turnaround times.

The combination of speed and accuracy makes drone land surveying an invaluable tool for a variety of industries, providing businesses with a competitive edge and ensuring that every survey is executed with the highest level of precision.

13th December 2024 Discover how the rapid growth of e-commerce is influencing the demand for industrial properties in Malaysia. Learn how logistics, warehousing, and fulfillment centers are evolving to meet new demands. Introduction: The rise of e-commerce has had a transformative effect on industries around the world, and Malaysia is no exception. With more consumers turning to online shopping and businesses adapting to new logistics models, the demand for industrial properties—particularly warehouses, distribution centers, and fulfillment hubs—is skyrocketing. In this article, we’ll explore how the growth of e-commerce is shaping the demand for industrial properties in Malaysia and why this sector presents huge investment opportunities. Browse more industrial property - industrial land for sale 1. The E-Commerce Boom in Malaysia E-commerce in Malaysia has experienced a rapid rise, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. According to recent reports, Malaysia’s e-commerce market is expected to reach a valuation of over USD 4 billion by 2025. This growth is driven by increasing internet penetration, the convenience of online shopping, and the expanding middle class in Malaysia. What to Expect: As online shopping continues to grow, so does the demand for the infrastructure that supports it—warehouses, fulfillment centers, last-mile delivery hubs, and distribution networks. This shift is prompting a wave of investment in industrial properties in Malaysia, particularly in key logistics hubs like the Klang Valley, Johor, and Penang. 2. Demand for Warehousing and Distribution Centers As businesses move more products online, the need for large-scale warehouses and distribution centers is growing exponentially. E-commerce retailers need these properties to store inventory, manage stock, and prepare orders for shipment. Malaysia’s strategic location in Southeast Asia and its well-developed infrastructure make it an ideal location for such logistics operations. What to Expect: Malaysia is witnessing a surge in demand for warehouses, especially those that are strategically located near major transport hubs, ports, and highways. Ports like Port Klang and Penang Port, and proximity to the North-South Expressway, are highly sought after by logistics companies. This trend will continue in 2025, with even greater demand for properties close to major delivery routes. Browse more industrial property for rent 3. Last-Mile Delivery Hubs and Fulfillment Centers Last-mile delivery refers to the final step in the shipping process, where goods are delivered directly to the customer’s doorstep. As e-commerce giants like Lazada, Shopee, and Zalora scale up their operations, there is increasing demand for last-mile delivery hubs and fulfillment centers across Malaysia. What to Expect: These hubs are typically smaller-scale industrial properties located closer to urban areas and residential zones to expedite the delivery process. The growth of online shopping is pushing companies to invest in fulfillment centers that can handle large volumes of orders, track inventory in real time, and ensure timely deliveries. As a result, demand for urban warehouses and distribution centers will continue to rise in Malaysia’s most populous regions. 4. The Shift Toward Automation and Tech-Driven Warehouses With the growing complexity of supply chains and rising customer expectations for faster deliveries, e-commerce businesses in Malaysia are increasingly turning to automation and technology to streamline their operations. From robotics and AI to automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), these innovations are revolutionizing the warehouse and logistics industry. What to Expect: Industrial properties designed for e-commerce businesses are evolving to meet these new demands. Future warehouses in Malaysia will likely feature cutting-edge technologies to improve efficiency and reduce labor costs. The rise of automated warehouses

will increase the demand for modern industrial properties that can support tech-driven operations, such as facilities with high ceilings, efficient layouts, and advanced power and data capabilities. 5. The Impact on Rental Rates and Property Values As e-commerce continues to fuel the demand for logistics spaces, industrial property rental rates and values are expected to rise in key areas. The competition for well-located industrial properties—particularly those near transport hubs or urban centers—is driving up prices. What to Expect: Investors in Malaysia’s industrial property market can expect increased demand for properties located near major highways, airports, and ports, particularly those offering large floor plans and modern amenities. The increasing demand for logistics spaces is also leading to higher rents, making industrial properties a lucrative investment opportunity for developers and landlords. 6. Opportunities for Developers and Investors The rapid growth of e-commerce presents huge opportunities for both developers and investors in the Malaysian industrial property market. The rising demand for warehousing and fulfillment centers, coupled with the need for modern, automated spaces, is driving investment in new developments and upgrades to existing industrial properties. What to Expect: Developers are focusing on building high-quality, flexible industrial spaces that cater to e-commerce businesses’ needs. These properties are often designed with advanced technology, sustainable features, and easy access to key logistics routes. For investors, this creates the opportunity to capitalize on a growing sector by investing in industrial properties that meet the needs of e-commerce companies. Browse more industrial property for sale 7. The Rise of Sustainable and Green Warehouses As more companies prioritize sustainability, the demand for environmentally friendly warehouses is growing. E-commerce businesses are increasingly looking for industrial properties that feature energy-efficient designs, sustainable building materials, and renewable energy solutions. What to Expect: Malaysia is seeing a rise in green and sustainable warehouses, where developers incorporate eco-friendly practices such as solar panels, energy-efficient HVAC systems, and water-saving technologies. The focus on sustainability will be an important factor in future industrial property developments as e-commerce companies strive to meet their environmental goals and reduce operational costs. Conclusion: The growth of e-commerce is one of the key drivers shaping the demand for industrial properties in Malaysia. From the need for modern, tech-driven warehouses and fulfillment centers to the rise of last-mile delivery hubs, the industrial real estate market in Malaysia is rapidly evolving to meet the needs of the e-commerce sector. For businesses, developers, and investors, this growth presents significant opportunities to capitalize on the booming logistics and warehousing market. As the demand for industrial properties continues to rise, those who invest in well-located, modern, and sustainable industrial spaces will be well-positioned for success in 2025 and beyond.

AI Solutions Transforming Business Automation Today

Businesses in today’s complex world have preferred Artificial Intelligence (AI) to ease various operations, enhance productivity, and cut overhead expenses. AI solutions for business automation are slowly but surely changing industries, where companies can direct their efforts towards innovative endeavors as mundane tasks are taken care of by AI.

Now, it seemed like AI was everywhere, ranging from data processing to decision-making. This was no longer a thing of the future. Any firm that has adopted these changes is considering itself ahead of rivals in business. The purpose of this blog is to define AI and how it influences business automation with examples of its application areas. Learn about the benefits of effectively collaborating with AI experts or developers and the possibilities that unique AI corporate options give for optimizing your work.

Streamlining Processes with AI

The first factor that makes the application of AI solutions for business automation is the impact on its process. AI systems deal with activities like data input, billing, and timetabling better, more efficiently, and with fewer mistakes than humans.

These systems evaluate, learn and develop better models as time progresses. For instance, in customer service, chatbots can handle customer questions throughout the day, nights, weekends, and holidays giving them a timely response, while at the same time freeing up human agents to have more in-depth interactions with other customers. Automating what is normally done manually can help business people to direct their efforts where they are most needed.

Enhancing Decision-Making

AI helps businesses improve their decisions. Machine learning involves feeding big amounts of data to the machine, which finds patterns and makes recommendations on what needs to be done. To effectively implement solutions of these kinds, Machine Learning consultants can be requested.

One of those is predictive analytics. Some examples are: In service sectors such as retailers, AI is used to know customers’ preferences, optimize stock control, and increase sales. In the AI solutions for healthcare industry, doctors employ AI to read and advise on patient records. These have many benefits in ensuring that right and accurate decisions are made right on time.

Personalised Customer Experiences

Another area that we should mention is the enhancement of customer relations through automation with AI. Custom AI solutions for businesses can also help provide more personalized company relations.

AI applies the collected data of customers to optimize suggestions, emails, or advertisements. Companies like Netflix use AI to recommend movies and products such as Amazon products in line with users' preferences. These levels of differentiation make customers loyal and happy, thus placing business entities in vantage positions.

Transforming Industries with Custom Solutions

From this discourse, various industries enjoy various advantages from AI, as presented below. For instance, the use of AI solutions in real estate is transforming marketing and sales of these properties. Virtual tours, Automated Valuation Models, and Predictive claims are the new buzzwords in the real estate industry.

In manufacturing, first, it optimises factory lines; second, it supervises quality; and third, it minimizes losses. In turn, through AI software development services, corporations are able to devise unique solutions which will meet organizational requirements; these include inventory management or predictive maintenance.

AI in Real Estate Market: Transforming the Property Landscape

AI in Real Estate Market: Transforming the Property Landscape

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic concept; it’s actively reshaping various industries, and real estate is no exception. AI in the real estate market is experiencing significant growth, making it a transformative tool in property valuation, property management, customer service, and more. The global AI in real estate market size is expected to grow from USD 2.2 billion in 2023 to USD 18.4 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 34.3% during the forecast period (2024-2030). As the demand for advanced data analytics and automation rises, AI is positioned to become a central driver in the way the real estate industry operates.

The Role of AI in Real Estate: Key Applications

AI technology brings a wide range of applications to the real estate sector. From analyzing customer preferences to predicting property values and automating routine processes, AI enhances efficiency, accuracy, and profitability.

Download the Report@ https://intentmarketresearch.com/latest-reports/ai-in-real-estate-market-3003.html

1. Enhanced Property Valuation and Market Analysis

One of the core benefits of AI in real estate is its capacity to analyze vast amounts of data with remarkable precision. Traditional property valuations were often based on historical data and individual appraiser expertise. AI, however, introduces predictive analytics that leverages real-time data, making property valuations far more accurate. Machine learning algorithms can evaluate factors such as neighborhood crime rates, proximity to amenities, historical property price trends, and local economic conditions to provide highly accurate price estimations.

Companies like Zillow have already implemented AI algorithms to estimate property prices through their “Zestimate” feature, which uses machine learning models trained on millions of property records. This has become a go-to resource for buyers and sellers seeking a quick estimate, allowing them to make informed decisions faster.

2. Streamlined Customer Service with AI-powered Chatbots

AI-powered chatbots have revolutionized customer service in real estate. Traditionally, prospective buyers and renters had to go through lengthy processes to connect with agents, seek information, and schedule visits. AI-driven chatbots, available 24/7, streamline these tasks by responding to inquiries instantly, providing detailed property information, and even helping customers book property tours. Chatbots such as Roof Ai cater to potential homebuyers by answering questions and guiding them through the purchasing process, saving time for agents and enhancing customer experience.

Additionally, AI-based chatbots can capture and analyze customer data, allowing real estate companies to tailor their services according to customer preferences and behavior. This level of personalization improves engagement and has become a critical component in the real estate industry's digital transformation.

3. Efficient Property Management through Automation

AI also plays an essential role in property management. Tasks like rent collection, maintenance scheduling, tenant screening, and energy management can now be automated with AI-driven systems. For instance, AI-powered platforms can predict and notify property managers of maintenance requirements based on usage patterns, reducing downtime and extending the lifespan of facilities. These systems can also facilitate rent collection by automatically generating reminders, assessing payment histories, and even flagging potential late payments.

Property management companies, such as Entrata, leverage AI tools to simplify these tasks. By automating routine and often time-consuming tasks, AI allows property managers to focus on more critical aspects, like tenant satisfaction and building improvements, ultimately increasing efficiency and reducing operational costs.

4. Improved Decision-Making with Predictive Analytics

AI’s predictive analytics capabilities allow real estate investors and developers to make better decisions. By analyzing historical data and current market trends, AI can help investors predict property values, rental incomes, and even potential risks. This capability has far-reaching implications, from determining where to develop a property to understanding future market demand and anticipating vacancy rates.

Predictive analytics also assist in risk management. AI models can examine data like local economic trends, mortgage rates, and housing demand to identify potential risks, helping investors mitigate losses. This has made AI an invaluable tool for investment firms, developers, and private investors who want a data-driven approach to decision-making.

5. AI-Driven Marketing and Lead Generation

Marketing and lead generation have always been crucial elements of the real estate business, and AI is making these tasks more targeted and efficient. Through machine learning algorithms, real estate firms can analyze demographic data, browsing behaviors, and social media activity to identify potential leads and create tailored marketing campaigns. By narrowing down the audience based on AI-driven insights, companies can maximize the return on investment for their advertising budgets.

For example, RealScout utilizes AI to identify leads and match buyers with properties that meet their preferences. This AI-powered platform helps real estate professionals reach their target customers with greater accuracy, ultimately boosting lead conversion rates and enhancing customer satisfaction.

Growth Factors: Why AI in Real Estate is Booming

Several factors contribute to the rapid growth of AI in the real estate sector:

Data Availability: The digital transformation of the real estate industry has led to an unprecedented amount of data collection, from user search patterns to transaction histories. This data fuels AI algorithms, making them more powerful and accurate.

Cost Efficiency: With automation and predictive analytics, AI reduces the cost of operations, from marketing to property management. This drives the adoption of AI as companies seek ways to enhance profitability in a competitive market.

Customer Expectations: Today’s customers expect instant responses, personalized recommendations, and seamless service. AI-driven tools meet these demands by automating customer service and tailoring experiences, making them indispensable for companies that want to stay competitive.

Investment in PropTech: The rise of PropTech, which merges property with technology, has significantly impacted the real estate market. As venture capital firms continue to invest heavily in PropTech companies, AI will become an even more integrated part of real estate infrastructure.

Challenges and the Future of AI in Real Estate

Despite its advantages, AI in real estate faces challenges, including data privacy issues, high initial costs, and the need for skilled personnel to manage AI systems. Real estate transactions involve sensitive information, and ensuring data privacy is paramount. Additionally, implementing AI requires significant investment, which may pose a barrier for smaller firms.

Nevertheless, AI’s potential in the real estate market far outweighs these challenges. As technology advances and AI becomes more accessible, even small- to medium-sized real estate businesses will be able to harness its benefits. The future of AI in real estate is promising, with expectations of greater automation, enhanced customer experiences, and unprecedented insights into market dynamics.

Conclusion

AI is set to become an indispensable part of the real estate market, transforming every aspect from customer service to property valuation, marketing, and risk management. The AI in real estate market size is expected to grow from USD 2.2 billion in 2023 to USD 18.4 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 34.3% during the forecast period. This growth underscores AI’s role in driving efficiency, improving decision-making, and delivering value to buyers, sellers, agents, and property managers alike.

Zillow Listing Fee Explained: Is The Cost Worth It?

When it comes to selling or renting property online, Zillow is one of the first names that come to mind. With millions of users browsing through Zillow's listings monthly, it's a great place to get your property noticed.  

But here’s the catch: the pricing structure is pretty confusing, especially for beginners. Read on to understand all you need to know about Zillow’s listing fees and a detailed analysis of all its competitors.

What is Zillow?

Zillow is an online real estate marketplace that connects buyers and sellers renters with property listings across the United States. Founded in 2006, it offers users options to browse various listings and view detailed market insights to make an informed decision.

Check out the main features that make Zillow a popular choice for users:

Zestimate: Zillow has an Automated Valuation Model (AVM) that estimates the current value of any home based on public data from county records, tax assessments, previous sales, etc. It works based on an algorithm that is continuously refined with each transaction, making it increasingly accurate over time.

3D Home Tours: Sellers can upload panoramic photos of the property. Zillow stitches the pictures together to give the potential homebuyer the walk-through experience from his or her computer screen. That's a huge advantage for a potential buyer who wants to get a feel for the property before calling by on physical visits.

Rental Manager: Landlords can manage everything right from screening tenants to collecting rents, in a single platform. That means they no longer need to waste time by switching between multiple tools.

MyAgent: Once a user selects an agent, they’ll see only that agent’s information when browsing Zillow listings. It’s a huge plus for buyers who want continuity in their search.

Cost of Listing on Zillow

Zillow doesn't offer a one-size-fits-all pricing solution for everyone. It really depends on how you use it. So, let's take a closer look at the pricing model for various types of users.

Homeowners

Luckily, homeowners can add their home listings with no fee attached. However, this is applicable only if they are not hiring a real estate agent. Owners can add up to nine photos and one video to attract buyers.

The reach of free listings is very limited, considering the large number of sellers on the platform. So, homeowners can opt to improve their listing visibility through paid add-ons. The cost varies by location but usually falls between $10 per day for listing at a premium level.

A commission would also be paid if they decide to use the services of a Zillow Premier Agent. Again, the exact rate is dependent upon their agreement with the agent.

Realtors

Realtors charge a monthly fee of about $200 in relatively less competitive markets but explode upwards in high-demand areas.

In addition to the monthly fee, the agents are also required to pay per lead generated through the website. This usually ranges from $20 to $100 per lead.

Some agents opt for a commission-based payment structure instead of fixed monthly fees. Check out the commission details of various markets here. 

Rental Properties

The first rental property listed is free for the first 30 days. Afterward, landlords must pay a flat fee to keep the listing active.

For extended listings, the charges range between $5- $50 per week. Owners can either pay weekly or opt for a 90-day flat fee.

Comparative Analysis of Zillow's Main Competitors

Advertising Options on Zillow

Even though Zillow has many potential buyers, you can’t just sit back and wait for reach to kick in. Most probably, you need to try out a combination of ad strategies to gain exposure. Check out some of the significant advertising options available for various users: 

Premier Agent

If you are a real estate agent struggling with low property listing views, you can join the Premier Agent program. It promotes your listings on top of the feeds to gain more visibility. The pricing varies greatly depending on the area, ranging from hundreds to a few thousand dollars.

Featured Listings

Like agents, sellers can also boost the listing to the feeds for extra exposure. It is really helpful in highly-competitive markets. Rates are charged on a cost-per-click basis. You can expect between $50 and $200 per listing.

Promoted Communities

For a more targeted approach, you can promote the listing to specific neighborhoods through dedicated landing pages. Here also, rates depend on the communities that you aim to target and the campaign duration.

Video or banner Ads

You can run either banners or short video clips as ads to showcase your property to potential buyers. Campaign pricing depends on several factors like exposure, duration, location, etc.

Is Zillow’s Fee Worth It?

In a nutshell: Yes, for many people, Zillow’s fee is worth it—but it depends on your goals.

First of all, Zillow does have millions of visitors every month. That means your listing is likely to reach more people than on other platforms. Investing in this platform gives you access to a set of advanced features like Rental Manager that make your selling way easier. The ease of managing everything in one place can make the fee worthwhile.

When it comes to agents, Zillow’s Premier Agent program is a goldmine. It lets them connect directly with buyers interested in similar listings. Such a targeted approach could lead to better conversion and ROI.

That said, Zillow’s fee may not be required for everyone. If you are simply listing a property for exposure rather than immediate interest, you might not see the same level of return. For them, the free listing option itself is enough.

5 Proven Listing Strategies For Success

Pumping in dollars to Zillow won’t guarantee success. Check out some tips to optimize your property listing to make the most out of promoting it:

Use High-Quality Images: Invest time in taking clear and well-lit photos of your property. This way, you are not just exhibiting professionalism but can even use them to attract more customers by showcasing the positive notes.

Compelling Descriptions: Write engaging descriptions highlighting the property's best features and nearby amenities. Try to fine-tune location-relevant keywords that buyers are likely to type in.

Price it Right: Remember, overpricing can scare buyers away. So, conduct proper research to set data-backed, competitive pricing. 

Utilize Zillow Features: Zillow has many attractive features, like 3D Home tours and featured listings, to help sellers. You can use them effectively to close the listings more easily.

Update the Listing: If you make any upgrades to the property, update the listing as soon as possible. A fresh listing keeps buyers engaged.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1) Can I list my property on Zillow for free?

Yes. Homeowners can list their property for sale by owner (FSBO) at no charge. But if you want more exposure to the market, you would probably have to pay either for ads or premium features.

2) How do I track the performance of my listing on Zillow?

Zillow does have an in-built analytics dashboard that lets you track all your listing engagements in real time. You can assess the metrics over there to analyze the effectiveness of the listing.

3) What is the ‘Make Me Move’ feature on Zillow?

The 'Make Me Move' feature allows homeowners to list their property at a price they would accept to sell it. You can take this option if you want to attract buyers within a specified price range. Otherwise, Zillow's system might calculate your listing's Zestimate based on the available information.

4) Can I remove my listing from Zillow?

Closing a listing is fairly easy and does not involve much hassle. Go to the ‘listings’ section of your account and click on the option to ‘deactivate’ your listing. 

5) What are the benefits of Zillow’s Premier Agent program?

Agents enrolled in the Premier Agent program can get access to exclusive leads on the platform. The best part is that they can even target the leads based on specific locations or demographics to make the process of conversion even more effortless. Agents can even place their services next to the listing to attract more inbound clients.

Conclusion

As you consider your next steps in real estate—be it selling or renting—Zillow remains an invaluable resource that connects you with millions of potential buyers every month. Yet, jumping onto the platform out of the blue does not seem like a good idea. Consulting a real estate expert can make your side safe and get the most out of the deal.
