"The ban on fake reviews includes AI-generated reviews and real people that have no experience with the product being reviewed.... Buying reviews, whether positive or negative, is also banned in any form. So-called “insider” reviews are prohibited by employees of a given company.... The new rule will become effective 60 days after it’s published in the Federal Register.... "

I’m sorry but that shutterstock photo is driving me insane. A rating scale that goes:

5: happiest

4: kind of happy

3: most sad

2: neutral

1: kind of sad

was either made by AI or a social terrorist.

In reality it is:

5: All good

4: There was some kind of significant issue

3: I am an old person or confused

2: I am an old person or confused

1: 90% chance I am just a super unreasonable person of some variety or other

What’s the over-under on how long before SCOTUS pulls any teeth this ban may have had?
