It’s been there for a while and the article is also a bit older, but I only recently saw this.
Might be a valuable thing to do if not for the fact that Amazon reviews have basically zero quality control. If Amazon themselves didn’t have corrupt motivations to host illegitimate reviews that mislead their own consumers into buying low-quality products.
But if you listen to Amazon reviews at this point, I have an off-brand bridge to sell you.
I had a company reach out and offer to pay me $50 to remove the negative review I left of their chair. Amazon did nothing.
But it shows just how dirty the system is. Some AI bot summarizing reviews is so not what’s needed.
More surprised you managed to post a negative review. Every time I do it fails amazons community guidelines check or get removed a few days after.
Yes as do most of mine. I tried updating that review and it was flagged and rejected 🙃
But I tired to keep it objective as possible with pictures to document on the first pass.
When i am interested in a thing, I go out of my way to read the comments for peoples real experience of a thing. Shit is expensive, and want to know if it will be worth it.
I dont want to read a simulated review based on average comments, wtf.
Yea! Fake summaries of fake reviews!

The summaries have been in testing for at least a couple of months, and they’re now more widely available to a “subset” of users in the US on Amazon’s mobile app.
Amazon says they’re available “across a broad selection of products.” So far, we’ve seen them on TVs, headphones, tablets, and fitness trackers.
They also seem to focus primarily on the positives of the product, spending less time on the negatives and leaving them for the end.
That said, that could be because Amazon’s search already elevates highly rated products, so it’s hard to find summaries of anything that people have been particularly frustrated by.
The feature can be found at the top of the review section on mobile under the heading “Customers say.” At the end, the paragraph includes a note that it was AI-generated.
Summarizing customer reviews has turned out to be one of the more obvious and easy to implement uses of generative AI.

It’s quite ironic for an AI summarisation tool to talk about an AI summarisation tool.
A real glimpse of things to come.
AI review of AI comments. Sure, that sounds great /s
