AI-generated movie and TV reviews?
Dear staff, I just noticed user drlex-15751 has written 1,619 reviews in less than 4 years. While this is not impossible, one review got me wondering. His/her review for TRON (1982), very weirdly mixes up this movie directed by Steven Lisberger from 1982, with the plot of TRON: Legacy from 2010, crediting Garrett Hedlund as Kevin Flynn's son. Wendy Carlos is listed as the composer, which is right for 1982, but then s/he adds Brian Bennett, who to my knowledge has nothing to do with either film. We then get "The use of Daft Punk's music in the film's later remastered version" which is again incorrect: Daft Punk wrote and performed the music for the sequel - which is of course not a remastered version of the 1982 movie! I noticed this contributor's other reviews use similar phrases over and over again: "Despite its entertaining nature, "The Jetsons/The Mask/Hercules/Johnny Bravo/101 Dalmatians/Aladdin/Men in Black/DuckTales etc." falls short in terms of originality. The series feels like a retread of previous animated shows, with predictable plotlines and lack of groundbreaking elements." So, who wrote this stuff? A real person, an AI bot, or some underpaid grinds in a sweatshop working from a well-defined template, for whatever reason? Please investigate. And most of all, what can be done against a predictable onslaught of automatically chatbot-generated movie reviews? I guess they must be hard to spot conclusively, as each one of them will always show slight variations in phrasing, and most of them won't be too wide of the mark. In fact, I just generated one for TRON (1982) myself, and I must admit, it was hard to find fault with it!
