Just heard this today - co worker used an LLM to find him some shoes that fit. Basically prompted it to find specific shoes that fit wider/narrower feet and it just scraped reviews and told him what to get. I guess it worked perfectly for him.
I hate this sort of thing - however this is why normies love LLM’s. It’s going to be the new way every single person uses the internet. Hell, on a new win 11 install the first thing that comes up is copilot saying “hey use me i’m better than google!!”
Frustrating.
Arguably this is already happening. AIs are trained mostly by web scraping and specifically scraping Reddit which has a known astroturfing problem. So it’s already being fed non-genuine inputs and isn’t likely isn’t being used with tools to flag reviews as fake
