Reddit has launched Reddit Reviews, which uses AI to turn product conversations across the site into summaries of what people are saying. The feature is starting with more than 10,000 products, ZDNET reports.
Why it mattersSearchers will see a recap and a visual measure of whether discussion is positive, mixed or negative. They can also filter by topic, browse original comments, ask follow-up questions and compare products. Reddit says the system combines generative AI with other in-house technology to identify review discussions and summarise them. The rollout is due over the next few weeks in the US on iOS, Android and the web. Handy shortcut or a very confident summary of conversations you should probably read yourself?
Discuss: Would you trust an AI summary of Reddit product discussions to help choose what to buy, or would you want to check the original comments first?
