Suspicions of AI-Generated Reviews
The podcast episode explores the discovery of suspicious online product reviews that appeared on the website Reviewed, raising questions about whether they were generated by AI. The reviews for scuba masks and drink tumblers sounded remarkably similar, lacking any personal or experiential context. The evidence, including similar writing styles, blurred profile pictures, and the inability to find any evidence of the supposed authors outside of the reviews, suggests that these reviews were not written by real people.
