AI-Generated Restaurant Reviews
AI-generated restaurant reviews can deceive both humans and AI detectors, potentially undermining the credibility of online reviews. Study by Yale professor Balázs Kovács shows that participants struggle to distinguish between real and AI-generated reviews. Implications include threats to trust in online platforms and the need for improved authentication mechanisms and regulatory action.
