Amazon adds AI-generated review summaries
Amazon is rolling out AI generated review summaries.

What could go wrong?

Is anyone else reminded of combining a bunch of under water mortgages into a single security and labeling it investment grade?

They are adding filtering based on reviewer attributes, but that strikes me as database rather than AI. Maybe they do the filtering, then apply the AI.

They also say the only revies from trusted reviewers will be used.

How do they "trust" a reviewer?
Goodreads, IMDB and Amazon sales (all Amazon) reviews are often gamed or unreliable.

How can this go right at all?

Garbage In, Garbage out.

Actually the Verge writes
Quote:
from verified purchases in an effort to cut down on fake reviews
A seller gets a shill to buy it, or uses their own sock-puppet and viola! a verified but fake review.

Surely Amazon aren't really naive. It's that they don't care. Sales is profit.
