If there's anything I'd want built in more than anything it would be vertical tabs like what the existing sideberry extension provides. I also use Vivaldi which has it native, and I've been hooked ever since.

Edit: and tab manager plus. Same functionality and interface but native.

The existing extensions are fine, but if they are wanting to add things already provided by a third party, those two are my must haves for a modern browsing experience.

I've been using fakespot for a few months now and it seems hit or miss a lot of times. I'm hoping that Mozilla has been making changes to improve the implementation of how it checks reviews.

Might be easier to just disable reviews on Amazon if you’re trying to block fake reviews lol.

I’m confused. Teachers/professors have said that using AI to detect papers written by AI is highly unreliable. How can this work effectively with a much smaller sample of text to work with (even when it looks for “similarities” between multiple reviews)? What happens in a week when Amazon starts writing fake reviews in different tones/“voices”/styles that are intentionally difficult or impossible to compare?

Probably 99% of fake reviews have not been written by AI. Just copy/paste bots or cheap copy/paste workers.

Fakespot used to reveal more about how they detected fakes, but as you say there are obvious issues with that, as it's a bit of an arms race. They don't just look at the text of the individual review though. Folks who buy reviews tend to get them from "review farms" that do reviews for a lot of products, and they don't have an infinite number of Amazon accounts to use for that, so there are network effects that can be powerful indicators, and that aren't easy for manipulate.

With the amount of false posts all over the web I cannot wait.

So, this sounds like just another AI-authorship detector, which haven't been very successful so far.

Its not a technology issue so I dont think amazon will be in trouble at all

I guess this is the approach to how AI can be used effectively.
