@toplesstopics@eldritch.cafe @drwho@hackers.town @Inumo@dragon.style That issue's been a problem since longer than AI spam though.
Amazon's enshittified reviews for example have been a problem at least as far back as 2010.
#ReviewFarms are an old phenomenon by now.
More distressingly, libraries aren't always a good option either, funds to stay up to date or have a good collection often run out and malicious curation is most certainly a thing too.

@lispi314@mastodon.top @toplesstopics@eldritch.cafe @drwho@hackers.town @Inumo@dragon.style I wonder, are there books that the general public will never know about because someone or a group of someone's has held onto the sole few copies?

@lispi314@mastodon.top I wasn't saying fake reviews only started with AI. only that information online has been untrustworthy for decades (and is now going to be even moreso) @drwho@hackers.town @Inumo@dragon.style
