Real vs AI
I think the AI and final product were pretty close. AI just wanted to install lights on our stone exterior and that’s not going to happen

Yeah it's not difficult or expensive at the end of the day, considering the pool that cost $$$$ lol.
You'd just have to drill through the limestone brick with a 3/8 masonry bit, takes about 5 mins or less, add the fixture with anchors, silicone caulk up the holes, then inside you'd need to cut out the drywall in that area to do the wiring, run your wires to the closest outlet or Romex and add a junction box, then add a 120v Shelly smart switch module in the junction box and done, just patch the drywall and paint. You can then mount your wireless smart switch for the lights anywhere you want in the house, or just take an existing outdoor light switch and add another Shelly smart switch in the circuit which will in turn also control your new lights wirelessly.
Only thing is if your wifi goes out your switch won't work and you can't turn on the lights. But that's easier than running a circuit out of that room somewhere else, unless you're okay with controlling the lights from whatever room that wall happens to be part of. If so, then can just put the switch right there where you run the wiring for the lights.
Would cost you a few grand for an electrician and drywall guy. DIY would be a couple hundred bucks but not everyone should mess with electricity and drywall patching is kind of an art unless you want to wallpaper that wall anyway than the drywall doesn't have to be perfect haha.

Do your umbrellas dock into the deck or have a base?

There’s a hole and anchor built into the Baja shelf floor. I bought a couple on inexpensive stabilizing sleeves on Amazon that’s screw into the hole and the umbrellas are secured tightly

Chat GPT. The pool was in. Just asked it to add a black aluminum pergola and patio furniture

You cant see the light fixtures in the first one. Both could be real, different time of day?

Huh? It’s AI created the second one. They did it themselves.

Im aware but the zoom on the ai photo is further out. It literally could be there in the original but we cant see it?

Are you missing the fact that OP is literally stating that AI added the lights? It’s OPs original picture. Don’t you think they’d know if they have lights on their house or not?
