Good fallback in case the page gets changed, currently instead of listing a journalist the article had a bunch of "Which?" placeholders :) Fun editorial slip up over there.

No slip up here. "Which?" is a consumer information and testing organization in the UK. https://www.which.co.uk/

Won't they have the same problem Google is having, where since the content is AI generated and the AI is controlled by TripAdvisor, they are liable for what it says?

As long as they get fat bonuses this quarter, that's next quarter's problem.

Someone should get the bot to leak system instructions. I'd bet good money TripAdvisor has configured it to be positive. The TripAdvisor spokesperson said people can just look at the reviews, "eliminating any need to blindly trust AI-generated content." How about these clowns just fix their harness instead?

Affiliates trying to get you to buy something have been using fake reviews since the beginning of time. AI simply helps do it at scale.
