Recharge in the sun

Soon, nobody’s going to read my reviews. A machine will. When someone needs a plumber, they won’t scroll through star ratings and make their own mind up. They’ll ask an AI, and it’ll read the lot… every review, every mention, every scrap of data about me… and hand them an answer. Here’s what keeps nagging at me. That AI has no way of knowing which of those reviews came from a real job. It can’t tell the customer I actually worked for from a paragraph someone generated in ten seconds. We spent years worrying about fake reviews fooling people. The bigger problem is fake reviews training the thing that now decides who gets the work. A human might smell something off. The machine just counts. Unless the data itself can prove where it came from, we’re about to automate the trust problem instead of fixing it.
