AI boring descriptions! Spare us! Please write descriptions yourself.

It isn't only simplicity that is absent, it's authenticity.  AI will have a place in our lives, but, I believe it will intrude into places that remove the human element entirely.

CONGRATULATIONS Barbara, on having this blog FEATURED in the Old Farts Clubgroup!  

Hello Barbara - life in and beyond real estate continues in interesting ways.  

Way too many flowery adjectives!! I didn't read through either paragraph either.

Good morning Barbara,

You have a valid point and I'll bet the agents never tweaked what was written or had it rewritten several times. Some are in a hurry to get a description written and are thinking about the house and what needs to be said about it to attract buyers.

AI has it's place, but i don't think writing property descriptions is one of them.

Barbara- AI does have its place but only as a tool, not a substitute. I think when writing for your website, you'd want your personality to come out. 

Hi Barbara:

Writing property descriptions may be easier when relying on AI but it might not be the best use of AI. Wonder what buyers and sellers think?!

What a great point made here. If we all "give-in" to this AI enabler, eventually we will all sound alike making Jack a dull boy. I don't want to be remade in AI's image

Barbara,

Writing our own descriptions goes to the heart of servicing the seller. I like to share the description with the seller in advance so we can tweak it together. Makes the seller happy and describes the property as a home, not a house.

Wall of words....blah blah blah.  It's just not how people see and FEEL about looking at homes.   Can you imagine asking a buyer what they're looking for in a home and they spewing out a paragraph like this..............not a chance!  Not a chance in he** and I say that with over 30+ years in the business.

I want the privilege of having a seller look at the description and asking for bits to be included or excluded and not have a flowery presentation about it.

Hi Barbara S. Duncan oops I’m trying to comment on my phone and accidentally sent you a message instead - please forgive!  These descriptions are getting so long it’s getting difficult to pick out what is important - age of roof, air conditioner new whatever’s that I feel agents using it and not editing it are doing a disservice to their sellers.

Those that use 100% of the AI suggested public comments are at fault for not having any creativity!  I'll admit I try AI and then promptly edit the heck out of it after I copy and paste into a word doc.  The flowery language is a dead give away.  None of us write that way!

If you use AI you must read it for Fair Housing Violations and for accuracy as well, because AI does not always get it right. And you can always remove some of the flowery adjectives at the same time as well. I think AI can help, and as more search is done using AI, using AI verbiage will help get your listing found. As we discovered last week on the Zoom Call AI created two different versions, one for consumers and for agents, for the same property, it seems we use different words to the consumers. Depending who you want to market to, using AI may help you reach that person.

Hello Barbara.  I like a little theatre-of-the-mind, but it has to at least be interesting.  I don't like falling alseep in the theatre.

Yes. I seem many descriptions in the mls which are overly long, filled with extra over-the-top descriptive works and challenging to read. I often wonder whether they were created by AI.
