What's the potential impact for reader reviews and book sales? <\/em><\/pre>\nAs reported by CNBC<\/a> and a sharp marketer<\/a> who monitors the world\u2019s largest online retailer for a living, Amazon is testing the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) to summarize some product reviews. Generative AI<\/a> uses technology to produce content such as text, graphics, audio, and video.<\/p>\n
The summaries, which include a disclaimer that Amazon is using AI to create them, pull from user reviews to share what customers do and don\u2019t like about products. (See an example of a review here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
In theory, they save discerning shoppers time scrolling through reviews for key product features and issues.<\/p>\n
Amazon hasn\u2019t officially announced that it\u2019s summarizing product reviews with AI, but it confirmed the news when asked by CNBC.<\/p>\n
Will Amazon roll this out to reader reviews?<\/h2>\n
You might be wondering if and when this will apply to reader reviews and the impact it might have on reviews and book sales.<\/p>\n
Nobody knows for certain, but we can make educated guesses.<\/p>\n
\u201cAmazon is always testing what converts better on their product pages. If they find that the AI-generated review summaries convert well on laundry machines, then they’ll likely roll it out for books as well,\u201d says Bryan Cohen<\/a>, author and CEO of Best Page Forward<\/a>.<\/p>\n
