And then you have the ugly stuff; I remember reading a paper (cannot find it now, though) about fraud rigs through which people can buy fraudsters to promote their products and trash their competitors' products. With AI, that kind of stuff will surely accelerate.

  People need to purchase products to leave reviews, so I doubt AI will run rampant any time soon for reviews.

    On Amazon? That's not true - at least on Amazon UK it definitely isn't, just tried and it lets me write a review for a product I never bought without any problem.

      These reviews don’t contribute to the overall rating and in some cases are shadow banned.
