A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

What I hate the most is when there's a bunch of different versions or models of a product and all the reviews are combined in the same page. Having to always check which model of a product they are reviewing is annoying.

Or when there are twenty five thousand different listings of the same exact product all named something ridiculous that only someone born in the Middle Country could come up with

Google has been doing this for a long time now, nothing really new here. What's disappointing is that they're not using AI to crack down on fake reviews, including those generated by ChatGPT. There are reviews on Amazon that say (verbatim) "As an AI language model..." as the intro to the review, so clearly any effort to remove these is minimal.

cool, as long as they use that AI to clear out all the fake reviews and rebadged chinese crap first

What’s the point of sifting through thousands of fake user reviews?

Maybe they can instead make their search filters better and actually have some standards for the products/listings on the site. Or maybe don't consolidate the reviews for different products in the same listing?

How about they show no reviews in foreign languages and instead show more reviews in my native language.
