Imagine you're browsing Amazon for a popular item, and instead of sifting through thousands of reviews, you can get a quick snapshot of what other buyers think. That's the new reality with Amazon's latest feature: AI-generated review summaries. Launched on Monday, this tool is now available to a selection of mobile users in the US, offering a concise paragraph on a product's page that captures the essence of customer feedback and highlights key features. You can even dive deeper into specific aspects like "ease of use" or "reliability" to see targeted excerpts from reviews.
Curious about this new feature? Amazon began testing it back in June and has now expanded its reach. When you're looking at a product, you might spot a customer reviews section above the actual reviews, featuring a brief AI-generated summary. It's clearly marked as such, and you can click on different attributes to see focused summaries and snippets from various customer reviews.

Amazon isn't alone in this tech trend. Last week, Newegg announced they're using ChatGPT to create "Review Bytes" and longer AI-generated paragraphs, but this is currently limited to their desktop site and products with a certain number of reviews.
Trust and Accuracy in AI Summaries
With AI stepping into the world of review summaries, you might wonder about its accuracy and trustworthiness. Amazon is still fine-tuning its AI models to enhance the user experience, but they haven't shared all the details yet. The bigger concern is fake reviews, a persistent headache for Amazon and its customers. The company is tackling this by investing in resources to block fake reviews before they appear, using machine learning to analyze data points like account relationships, sign-in activity, and review history. They also employ fraud-detection tools to keep the platform clean.
For the new AI summaries, Amazon ensures they only use reviews from verified purchases, aiming to maintain the integrity of the summaries. They're also taking legal action against fake review brokers who offer money or free products in exchange for false reviews. In 2022 alone, Amazon blocked over 200 million suspected fake reviews from going live.

Amazon의 AI 리뷰 요약은 정말 유용해요! 리뷰를 끝없이 스크롤할 필요가 없어졌어요. 빠르고 요점을 잘 잡아주지만, 세부적인 뉘앙스를 놓치는 경우가 있어요. 그래도, 빠른 결정을 내리는 데는 정말 편리해요! 👍

Os resumos de reviews da Amazon com IA são incríveis! Nada mais de rolar infinitamente pelas avaliações. É rápido e dá uma visão geral, mas às vezes perde as nuances. Ainda assim, é super útil para decisões rápidas! 👍
