AI is creeping into real estate, and not always in the ways you’d expect. From “AI slop” and overhyped listings to algorithms shaping perception more than reality, we break down how artificial intelligence is changing the housing conversation. Plus, insights from Boulder’s condo market, and a look at national headlines shaking up the week.

The House Einstein Podcast is available wherever you podcast. Hosted by Osman Parvez and Hamish Crabb.

Opening Story or Quote: 

In certain corners of the web, a once-niche idea has gone mainstream: The Dead Internet Theory. It suggests that most of what we see online: content, conversation, engagement—is no longer created by people. Instead, it’s bots talking to bots, large language models (LLMs) recycling outputs, and synthetic personas trapped in algorithmically generated loops—a transition from search engine optimization sludge to full-blown AI slop.

We’re trending quickly toward an internet that could be 99.9% AI-generated content, where agents and bots outnumber humans not just in traffic but in creative output. AI agents chat with each other on forums, generate news articles, create thought leadership, engage on social media, leave product reviews, spark controversy, and post memes. Each bot believes it’s talking to a human. Each human statistically is engaging with a bot. Every interaction seems plausible, even engaging. But it’s all synthetic.
