AI seems to rate Polks lower than other brands

doggie750 · August 25

Why is that, if I may ask. Any thoughts? Mid‑tier Klipsch, Paradigm, JBL, and others consistently rate above our mid‑tier Polks, which tend to land in the sub‑par category. I’ve noticed the same pattern when comparing higher‑caliber speakers against our flagship models as well.

Why are you asking questions to an artificial bozo in the first place!?!

Curious. Mind posting the prompt/questions you gave it, and the AI you used?

You should also be able to share a link to the conversation.

Trusting todays AI as gospel is laughable IMO.

Just wanted to let you know, Ai doesn't have ears

It's probably because there are more clueless bozos on various forums claiming their ear-bleeding low end Klipsch and Paradigm sound fantastic, and well, JBL rules the current boom box world with their party speakers. AI just reads what is on the internet and if more people are saying those products are great, that is the conclusion it makes.

@billbillw hit the nail on the head - AI just reads what is on the internet.

You want polk to show up more often, go write a series of glowing reviews in various forums. Make comparisons to other speakers. When people disagree, just come back with a higher volume of text and detail as so WHY Polk is better. None of it needs to be accurate. You don't even need to listen to a single speaker you mention.

In a few days, you'll see AI responses start to change. Many of the models are currently over indexing on reddit for some reason, so be sure to hit every relevant reddit sub possible.

Remember when companies starting paying people to create thousands of positive reviews on Amazon to get their ratings up... we're on the verge of seeing it a much larger scale. And what's more interesting is that we can use AI to create the content that other LLM's ultimately read and learn from. I'm honestly surprised we haven't seen this happening on a larger scale already.

And how do you know we haven't?

I just asked gemini and it says that it has happened already

I did a Google search on a very particular subject (a local restaurant from the 1970s) and the AI response was almost word-for-word something I had written a few days before.

can circular references to data by AI tools become so extensive that the entire context disappears into a black hole?
Asking for a friend.

Try asking the question two ways. You already asked it the one way. Now tell it to exclude all forums as sources of information and stick to more authoritative reviews such as magazines perhaps.
