"This type of SEO spam seems like an area where generative AI will be able to address."

LOL, no. Generative AI is literally taking over SEO spam and exponentially magnifying it. That's where the money is. And Google is here to make money.

GenAI as in increasingly sophisticated reasoning engines, not writing fake product reviews.

  • GenAI does what its users tell them to do. And users are asking it to make fake product reviews. They don't even need it to be about an actual product just, tell it to 'create a product review for a toaster oven and include point 1 and point 2', and then the user can pop in some actual product names, model numbers, or a few other facts where needed.
