❗ Writing reviews and the use of AI

@LRLRL I think your thoughts are exactly what a review should convey. I like your style above: telling it like it is in the context of the whole experience.

It hadn’t even crossed my mind to use AI. I’ll stick with my slightly rambling style :joy:

Well I just noticed I repeated myself on one of my reviews so I think its safe to say I didnt use an AI tool :slight_smile:

As somebody who has been doing this for 10 years, it’s a bit insane to me to consider that some people might just feel like trying to cheat the system and use AI. For starters, it’s wildly easy to detect, and secondary, what exactly is the point? A human effort, even if not the best written, is still more valuable than nonsense made by ChatGPT that says nothing of value or outright lies.

Amazing!
Writing the review is so FUN!
A rare pleasure in an increasingly stressful world …
I want AI to do a whole lot of boring tasks so that I get the freedom to review sex toys! Amongst other joys of art and leisure :blush:

The thing with A.I. is that it lacks individuality and personality, some people’s reviews are worth reading just for their wit and style as well as the honesty. If you use A.I. it just comes cross as wanting a freebie without putting the work in.

Using it as tool to help you reword a small part of your own review shouldn’t be too bad, as long as when you read it back it doesn’t sound comuter-y. This is mostly about people using the AI tool to write the entire review without much or any human input :slight_smile:

I wouldn’t trust AI as far as I could throw it. That rubbish will never happen with any of my reviews.

Thank god! However - just to be safe I’ll avoid in future!

The whole point of testing a product is to get genuine reviews and experiences, sure, AI can write a fancy sales pitch. But it’s always going to be lacking an actual experience! Another thing I’ve noticed a lot with AI is the vast amount of misinformation, a few months ago I was researching the Yarmouth suspension bridge and ChatGpt said that no one was injured during the incident- total rubbish

I remember a google AI search telling me that malaria can be cured by getting lemon juice into your bloodstream. I’m sure I’d trust an AI telling me what I can and can’t put in my body.

Don’t ever trust their AI, it’s only a collection of popular questions and answers then their AI figures out the most popular answer.

Google’s AI is by far one of the worst ones out there, it started telling people it was healthy to eat rocks once! Not entirely sure I’d be comfortable with that same AI writing reviews for and recommending sex toys. I think I’d much rather hear from the lovely people in this forum any day (;

I totally agree with you on the AI reviews.
I so enjoy writing a genuine review on the products I receive.

HOW… are people using AI to write a review that’s madness!!

Just for them to find out how freaky we are. Yeah that’s a no

This is mental… AI is starting to have far too big of an effect on the world… where does the madness stop… If you’re lucky enough to test products the you should take this job seriously and absolutely revel in the experience.

Yes, totally, if I see that there are reviews that are not genuine, LH or anywhere else, I will leave right away. :woman_shrugging:t2:

My partner works in IT and is seeing AI used for as much as possible! It’s mad how people think they can use it to get out of putting the work in.

Whats next, AI actually testing the toys too?! :scream:

If people want the joy of testing these items then atleast put the effort in in return.

I think that’s fair enough.

It’s also really easy to spot chatGPT written reviews -at least for the moment- because of it’s overuse of dashes and Emojis :white_check_mark:. Unless you’re iteratively refining the response using extra prompts it’s really easy to spot. It’s all you see on LinkedIn and Facebook now and I’m really tired of it.

For university, we’re allowed to use generative AI for correcting Grammer and sentence structure but the core material must be original.

I think a blanket ban on AI is probably the best thing for this use case though. I’m more likely to see a review as genuine if it’s organic, unfiltered and maybe with some small written imperfections.

AI can’t have orgasms (yet?) so you’re best reviewing sex toys and describing how they made you feel in your own words.
