    While we’re at it, can be ban AI generated product reviews and comparisons? That would be rad.

      First sentence, emphasis mine:

      The Federal Trade Commission on Wednesday voted unanimously to ban marketers from using fake reviews, such as those generated with AI technology, and other misleading practices to promote their products and services.

      Just being cheeky though. I don’t always read the articles either. But Lina Kahn has been on fire lately.

      Fake reviews sure, but what does comparisons have to do with it? Sounds like a perfect use for an LLM to compare two different product description pages.

        Nah fuck that. If I’m seeking out detailed comparisons, I’d rather real world reports from an enthusiast or someone knowledgeable in the field. I’m not talking just comparing side-by-side specs, I can do that with two browser windows myself. The problem is that you’ll find these reports, but they’re absolute drivel written either by machine that has no idea what the hell it’s talking about, or a sponsored content “article” written by some yoyo that’s clearly being paid to promote one product over the other.
