I've been reading about  dropshipping  (https://www.reddit.com/r/dropship/)from reddit and I realized just how saturated and how may online stores are doing dropshipping from China. That said, do you feel like the quality of the products are being sacrificed because of this?
Also, will there be a way for AI tech to like filter real reviews from fake ones? Of course, not everything from China is of low quality, but it would be great if there will be a way to get real reviews from real people filtered via AI or some other tech that could do this.

Objects are not poor quality because they come from China.  They are poor quality because cost was a factor.

Artificial intelligence can indeed do that so it would depend on google or whatever search engine if they are going to make use of it. If they could find a pattern on how fake reviews are done then we will get better user reviews to rely on.

I wouldn't make a blanket condemnation of every dropshippable item you can find online, particularly at Alibaba. You need to proceed in a case by case basis. This is also the reason why you succeed initially at dropshipping when you are more careful and choosy about the stuff you offer, because you can do more research on the manufacturers. But, when sucess makes you scale, such 'micro-managing' research becomes difficult or impossible, and then the whole op turns sloppy.

If you can steer around these obstacles, this is a lucrative field for 'easy money' where once you set up ops, minimal further attention is needed.

I'm pretty certain there is one already, at least it works on youtube, it marks bots' comments, so you can see, which on is which. There is probably some add-on or script that works the same way on big platforms, as ebay or alibaba(express etc.)

quality depends on price you pay, if you look around the best quality products are made in china and also poor quality products are made in china, other issue is inconsistency in quality and specification from dropshippers

I bought this "cardigan" off of amazon for a normal price. It looked nice in the picture. When I got it, it was an ugly, over-sized, tunic looking thing that was made out of cheap, flimsy business shirt fabric and had the buttons sewn down the front as if it was supposed to open but didn't. It was absolutely hideous. It was also shipped from China. They sell cubic zirconia rings that are marked S925 and you know they aren't. I don't even think I'm going to buy from amazon any longer. You can't tell where you junk comes from. Sadly, many of these companies let you slap a brand name on them and pretend like you are the owner. That is why you see 5 different items with different brands and what they all are are cheap knock-offs with a "drop ship biz" name on them. Save your money. Shop local and support your local people if possible.

I mentioned that
It is obvious though from a lot of negative reviews that people are receiving their orders from China and are not happy about it. It is also possible that there are good products that come from China but were ordered in Amazon. So Amazon should develop an AI that would weed fake reviews written by a bot or not.
