Title: Yelp might want to further exploit AI technologies
Post by: JealousCup on November 14, 2018, 09:32:03 PM
3,000 Yelp sales reps are now powered by artificial intelligence but I wonder if the company will take a step further and use it to filter out some fake reviews because I swear I've come across some wonderful , out-of-the-world reviews for the worst companies and this sucks!
So, do tell... would you trust Yelp more if the company was to integrate AI for such purpose?

I don't understand how AI could figure that out. You could still have a verified purchase and pay someone to write a fake review. AI can't remind minds...yet.

I guess if any and all payments were done through crypto and on the blockchain maybe AI could figure out if someone associated with fake news payments had made a transaction to someone who made a review.

If there is a will there is always a way though.

Can't agree with you on this one. What if the AI is able to study patterns in fake reviews to determine which reviews are genuine? I am not saying that the AI predictions would be 100% accurate but the error rate would be very low.

These are baseless guesses and assertions. "The error rate would be very low" ???

There is no way to show that.

Are you implying that Facebook's algorithms to target its users with ads don't work? Because, it is the same thing when it comes to verifying  reviews...
