Isn't this the PAST... something along the lines of: "spent some time to fill the database with data; any data; make it up if you have to". This would've worked long before AI, except now just a bit more efficient?

Hello, sverhagen. I am not understanding your comment. But allow me to address what I sense you mean. PropBox is not the past - it is the future, today. We don't want "any data" we want accurate data. We want the best data. I cringe at the thought of " make it up if you have to." We do not think it is AI dependend. We will watch AI for awhile and experiment a bit with it. If it actually works for us we will incorporate it. For us one of the problems with AI and real estate is there is so much inaccurate, misleading, harmful content out there we don't want to contaminate our material.
It wasn't cool then either.
It probably wasn't, just not sure why AI, for all its faults, got blamed here :)
