When your dream home is AI
Oh no, the house you liked on Facebook is AI-generated! In this video we get into AI houses and where they're getting their inspiration. Connecting it back to Gothic Revival houses and Folk Victorian styles these photos are imitating. And bring right into real estate trends and what it means if your dream home isn't real.

    And even if the water towers themselves are no longer used for their original purpose their structure can be used for cell phone antennas; I guess that means they go from a publicly funded purpose to a private one, but it can still be seen to serve the public in a way.

    I've seen that same facebook page. A lot of the comments are generated by AI language models, the profiles are generated pictures of people, the likes are mass farmed from bots or like farms. You get a couple of real people but majority of it is just bots interacting with bots.

    Those Amazon "homes" remind me somewhat of the "earthquake shacks" that were constructed after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and firestorm. They were rent-to-own, a better option than the tents that were initially provided, and there are still some in San Francisco to this day. If you're interested there are a lot of resources online, and Atlas Obscura has a good article on them with a good selection of photos.

    This has become a hobby of mine: How fast can I recognize an AI image. answer: pretty fast. For many of the reasons and things you mentioned here. There are so many things off. Textures and geometrical shapes especially. You fill almost always find a sport in the image where the textures and lines are somewhat blurry in a weird way. Shadows sometimes make no sense etc. It's a fun experience to keep my eyes trained for this.

    I don't really mind if they're not real because I was never going to find a cute house like that anyway (even "realistic" cute). Why not just enjoy a cozy little house picture? I doubt anyone is purchasing these house pics ...so what's the point beyond accruing worthless internet points? I suppose one could argue a few people might be saddened by the pic because it makes them feel like their own life is shitty in comparison--but that's true of the entire internet. So until AI starts posting fake people videos giving me bad advice in UA-cam DIY tutorials I'm not invested.

    The automat was about as low tech as you can go. It was nothing more than a wall full of glass faced boxes that separated the kitchen from the dining room. You bought a slice of pie, and someone on the other side of the wall replaced it with another one. It was cheap because the food was cheap and the only labor in the dining area was the one employee who at the change booth, and another one cleaning tables. Everything was self serve. You could eat lunch for under a dollar, but remember a dollar was a lot of money back then.

    I couldn't care less about dollhouses but I watched or listened to this entire video and I found it fascinating. I'm not sure what that means, other than you've got writing chops and charisma, but I just thought I'd let you know. No, the closest I can come is that a friend of mine had a Hoth playset that his dad built out of Styrofoam from a set of plans in Women's Day magazine published sometime in 1980. We played with that thing like crazy; it was far and away my favorite set piece of all time. But hey, that's pretty far off the topic. Thanks for your very entertaining work. I really enjoy your channel a lot.

    Kitchen, dining room and living room form an L-shape open concept at our house. And the only division between the kitchen and the dining is a bar countertop. We have no island. So it has never been a problem for people to take food, go to the dining table, then either stay there socializing or amble over to the living room. Then again, if your dining table only seats 6 and the bar doesn't actually have any seating it gently encourages people to scatter. Edit: In the days when we had all the extended family over, we barely used the house but put the car out and used the garage and shed extension. I have other family that do this too. Some used to rent a tent at first but they've all added extra sheds.

    I feel like they’re becoming more outside “showy”, while yes, houses have often been a way to display wealth, since people no longer have dozens of people sleeping at their house, they don’t fully furnish a house which makes it feel lifeless. My friend’s mansion is large(6500 sqft) but, uses every space and it doesn’t seem empty unlike most of these celebrity houses

      it depends on the country you are living in. you have to keep in mind, that esp. "celebrities" cant go out in public in many places without being harrassed. in other countries they might get kidnapped etc... michael jackson once closed a supermarket when he was over 40 years old, so he can experience how it is to buy groceries, which he had never done in his life. these people simply are prisoners of their own wealth. imagine you are in that situation, that you can never ever leave your property. how big does it have to be?
