Robots learns how to write convincing Yelp reviews

Robots have written phoney reviews on Yelp that are so convincing they're almost impossible to distinguish from the real thing. Scientists created this articulate artificial intelligence system to show how damaging neural networks can be if they are not monitored properly. If an angry customer or competitor wanted to spam a page with negative reviews it seems one day they could pay a machine to churn fabricated complaints out for them. Researchers believe this type of AI has the ability to dramatically disrupt certain industries. In order to test how convincing robot reviews were, researchers from the University of Chicago got 40 volunteers to see if they could tell the difference between real and fake reviews for 40 restaurants.
