Homeowner Uses AI To Virtually Clean Apartment Photos

On 16 January 2026 in Hong Kong, a homeowner used an AI image generator to digitally 'clean' photographs of a cluttered apartment filled with over a decade's belongings and posted the results on a local forum. The post showed photorealistic, virtually staged images and prompted debate between admirers for convenience and critics who warned of misrepresentation in rental or sale listings. Commenters urged disclosure and raised ethics concerns.
