The principal of a branch of one of Australia's largest real estate companies has admitted using Chat GPT to generate property listings after a rental home was advertised as being close to two excellent" schools that didn't exist.

LJ Hooker made the errors in the listing for a four-bedroom home it has advertised for rent in Farley, in the New South Wales Hunter region, which it corrected shortly after being contacted by Guardian Australia on Monday.
