> human reviews rather than an AI output

AI will very soon be perfectly capable of generating human sounding reviews. It just needs to "dumb down" the tone a bit to be believable.

But no one wants that. ChatGPT can already produce a good 500 word review of a TV, I can ask it to do that right now, but that's totally non-valuable.

Definitely but would you be able to tell if a review you see is generated or written by a human?

We will have to face a reality where nothing on the internet can be trusted. Ironically traditional news outlets will probably become more relevant again.

Unless those traditional news outlets use LLMs to write stories for them in order to keep up with the internet/lower salary cost
