What this does
This prompt helps you analyze Amazon product reviews to determine whether they sound like genuine customer experiences or AI-generated, incentivized, or low-quality reviews. It guides AI to examine language patterns, specificity, balance, timing, and reviewer behavior, then explains its reasoning in plain English so you can make a more informed buying decision.
Why it’s useful
Online reviews used to be helpful. Now many are exaggerated, copied, or written by bots and paid reviewers. For everyday shoppers, especially those who rely on reviews to avoid returns or bad purchases, this creates frustration and distrust. This prompt gives you a second opinion, helping you separate meaningful feedback from noise without needing technical knowledge or special tools.

Prompt
I want you to act as a careful consumer analyst helping me evaluate whether Amazon product reviews are likely written by real customers or generated, incentivized, or unreliable.
The product I’m considering is: [product name and model]. I will paste in: [one review / multiple reviews / summary of review patterns].
Analyze the reviews for signs of authenticity, including: level of specific detail, mention of real-world use, balance of pros and cons, natural language variation, emotional tone, timing patterns, and whether multiple reviews sound unusually similar.
Also note red flags such as vague praise, generic phrasing, excessive positivity, repeated buzzwords, or lack of context.
Clearly explain, in plain language, whether the reviews seem mostly trustworthy, mixed, or unreliable—and why.
If helpful, suggest what types of reviews I should prioritize reading instead (for example, moderate ratings, longer reviews, or reviews mentioning downsides).
Avoid technical jargon, speculation, or absolute claims. Focus on practical guidance that helps an everyday shopper decide whether to trust this product’s reviews.
How this helps you
This approach helps you shop with clearer eyes. You’ll waste less time reading misleading reviews, avoid products that don’t live up to the hype, and feel more confident that you’re buying something that actually works for people like you—not just for algorithms.
