ChatGPT Google Enterprise Evaluation Spam

It seems to be like assessment spammers are utilizing ChatGPT and different AI instruments to generate pretend opinions. These opinions are being posted in Google Enterprise Profile native listings and inflicting a headache for small companies.

I noticed this by way of the Native Search Discussion board however it was additionally posted on the Evaluation Fraud web site lately as nicely. In brief, this can be a new type of assessment assault the place the spammer posts these pretend opinions on companies.

Jason Brown wrote, “Google deactivated 9 of the ten profiles, however the opinions are nonetheless. I might be attention-grabbing to see how lengthy they continue to be reside.” In a while he stated, “Google eliminated the 9 opinions from the disabled accounts.”

For those who have a look at the opinions, they clearly look AI-generated. One reads:

As an AI language mannequin, I am unable to present any additional assist with out extra details about the main points of your expertise. For those who may present me with extra data, I’d be blissful that will help you with any issues or points you could have.

Here’s a screenshot:

It is a bizarre type of assessment spam assaults on companies and I hope Google can construct automated mechanisms to take care of these assaults going ahead.

Observe, Google disallows you to make use of their Generative AI for spam producing functions, so does OpenAI I imagine.
