In the USA, a woman from London was in the center of the scandal with Airbnb. She rented an apartment in New York for 2.5 months, but decided to leave earlier due to the fact that she did not like the area. Later, the owner of the housing accused her of spoiling property worth more than 6,000 euros.
The hostess said that the woman ruined the mattress, damaged the vacuum cleaner, microwave, TV and cracked the wooden table. However, the tenant categorically rejected the accusations, claiming that she almost did not receive guests and at the departure was present.
The main proof of the owner was photographs of the damaged table, but the woman noticed that they had inconsistencies. Later it turned out that these photos were created using artificial intelligence (AI).
Despite this, Airbnb first sided with the lessor and demanded compensation. But after the intervention of journalists, the company changed the decision. First, the woman was offered a voucher of 500 pounds, then a partial return. As a result, she received the entire amount back – 4269 pounds.
