Faking your reviews with AI is not a good idea. The makers of Megalopolis got caught, and you could too. Their efforts to spin and deny won't reverse the damage.
Don't use AI for this. Don't even do this the old fashioned way!
- warkdarrior 2y agoThe solution is not to get caught -- use a good-enough AI, put some human comments in (don't make it all AI-driven), and don't make it too unbelievably good.

Let's see if anyone is talking about this in two weeks. Attention spans are so short, all you have to do is ride it out for a little bit.
- nerdponx 2y agoIs it really a bad idea? Is getting caught a bad outcome? Will this hurt their revenue at all? This is somewhat conspiratorial, but I think it's a deliberate enshittification strategy. Do something that's currently considered beyond the pale, accept some temporary reputation damage, walk it back. Then quietly and gradually start working your way up to doing increasingly bad things, and people will be OK with that, because at least it's not the really bad thing you did that one time. Eventually, the thing that was once beyond the pale is now the normal.
