Resident Evil Requiem Just Exposed A Global Conspiracy (Yes, REALLY)

A Resident Evil Requiem review hit Metacritic. The reviewer had a degree, a profile, a headshot. None of it was real. And unfortunately for you and I, it isn't a one-off.

who cares ?

 

[Yoshichan]

i knew it

it's a 7/10 title but ai is manipulating the numbers

i knew it

 

[kanjobazooie]

It's one thing to post an AI generated review, but to a create whole ass fake reviewer who himself is AI?

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

who cares ?

Going by the hundreds of replies and sometimes thousands you can get in a review thread for a particular game I would say a fair number of people here might care about this.

 

[xrnzaaas]

There's definitely more fake reviews on metacritic and not only from that site (which I assume will now all be removed). Metacritic doesn't give a crap to vet themselves unless people point them the fakes, clicks are clicks.

 

[RoboFu]

Game reviews and metacritic scores haven't been thing for years now. Ever since the last two real gaming sites became nothing but ad fests for click revenue.

I still remember when ign changed over.

 

[The Cockatrice]

didnt we already have a discussion about this?

 

[Roman Empire]

didnt we already have a discussion about this?

Yes, but I don't think on this scale where even the reviewer is a Fake AI person.

 

[DryvBy]

The term artificial intelligence would have included normal IGN, Giant Bomb, PC Gamer, etc reviews also. Because they also have artificial intelligence.

 

[Shubh_C63]

I mean, what the solution. Certainly not govt checked profile with your real images as proof ?

 

[Mr Moose]

AI was a mistake, it's nothing but trash.

 

[pepeno]

Sounds like improvement over normal reviews. I would watch AI slop 100 times than read any "review" coming from people who barely can jump over obstacle.

This but unironically. Still better than real life activist "reviewers" which is the saddest part of it.

 

[Loomy]

who cares ?

A lot of people make purchasing decisions based on reviews and review scores. A lot of publishers pay out bonuses based on review scores.

So this matters.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Once AI can play the games I'm okay with AI game reviews.

Until then no dice.

I think that once they can play the games it would be discrimination to treat their reviews differently.

After all, AI are people too. Some of us are living the dream and here yall are out here, fighting change. Accept. Accept.

 

[Miles708]

Metacritic should be banning and keeping a public list of websites caught up using ai articles.

Shame them publicly

 

[saintjules]

Pretty sure this was talked about for a while now.

Hey just so you know, every website you read uses AI now they just filter it thru a human first.

So you jot your ideas down, put them in AI, AI writes them better, you rewrite them, now anyone can make a Taul Passi level article in minutes.

Any journalist not doing this is wasting time and making worse articles.

Everything is AI now. Call centers are moving to openclaw and Seethe the Scaleless betrayed his own and the dragons were no more.

The video in OP though claims no one actually played anything.
Dead internet is real.

AI grammar check and AI "totally made up review and reviewer with no interaction whatsoever with the subject being reviewed" are not exactly the same thing, and if the distinction makes me an old boomer then so be it

AI was a mistake, it's nothing but trash.

Churning endless amounts of trash isn't the real problem, us human do it as well.
AI is an insult to life itself, as he said, because it tries to mimick life without understanding or experiencing it.

 

[Plague Doctor]

Good thing I have stopped reading professional reviews 10 years ago. This might have shaken my trust in the bastion of dignity and journalism thar we call the gaming press.

 

[OLED_Gamer]

Welcome to the upcoming world of more believable misinformation and misrepresentation.

This is only going to get worse without legislation.

What about fake AI generated threads on GAF?
