![]() But, clearly neither has ChatGPT.Īnd there's another issue: How will ChatGPT deal with fake reviews? Perhaps these suggestions from AI have to be taken with a dash of Maldon sea salt flakes.Ĭould AI Replace Restaurant Reviews? Harvard Business Review postures that "AI should augment human intelligence, not replace it." The publication proposes a "new diversity" by which teams of humans and non-humans work together to, say, pick where you should take your daughter for her 18th birthday dinner. Reporter Maria Cramer looked at how third parties pay writers for reviews of places they'd never set foot in. The New York Times recently looked at fake online reviews in an article titled, "Five Stars, Zero Clue" and the big business of beefing up ratings. When a restaurant's rating rises or falls even a half-star it has a monetary impact. Regardless, reviews from users like the ones found on OpenTable and Yelp have big implications for businesses. So, is ChatGPT recommending restaurants, or are we? This brings up a good chicken-versus-egg paradigm: Without all those reviews and words there wouldn't be text for ChatGPT to sift through. With this collaboration, however, instead of fellow diners lighting the path with yellow stars to favored restaurants, OpenTable will use ChatGPT to parse through the millions of data points to predict, or suggest, where to get tapas next Tuesday. When we questioned the error, it quickly admitted its mistakes, which could be a sign of an endearing new quality on the internet. ![]() In fairness, the recommendations aligned with some of our very own preferences, but then it also suggested restaurants that weren’t actually in Dallas. We recently asked ChatGPT for pizza recommendations in Dallas. “We’re proud to be the first brand to bring restaurant recommendations to ChatGPT - aka the internet’s favorite chatbot - via its newly launched plugins,” a press release stated. Last week the online restaurant reservation hub OpenTable announced that it is collaborating with ChatGPT to help you find your next meal. It (or they? or the overlords?) has/have figured out the easiest path to the human mind: through the stomach. A major step in AI domination is unfurling right before our hungry eyes.
