What the fuck even are those reviews? They make no sense. I'd say it's AI but even AI could write better than that.

I strongly suspect they don't care about coherency. They care about spending just enough compute on anything that can avoid tripping a spam filter and getting the review deleted. As long as the review is kept and counts towards the score, that's a win from their perspective.

I woudn't doubt there buying them, as there trying to get ppl to use that horrible add that kills your battery, and the ads everywhere.

I was going to mention this. I was reading reviews and even the ones that make sense are co planning about something yet the score was 5 stars. I think something is broke or this is AI.

There's over 2M reviews, the current ones are not going to move the needle.
