Unless you also build the AI that buys and physically assesses these products, this will be gamed also.

With headphones it's especially bad as manufacturers tend to enshittify existing product lines (cheaper materials!) without indication on their product pages. I'm holding on to my DT990 as long as I can...


yes, of course, I recognise that it is quite tricky to distinguish reliable products from those that can be defined as ‘junk’... that's precisely why I thought of giving each search a large amount of data referring to the product you are looking for at the ai in order to make a sensible ranking of the products and thus suggest only those most suitable for your needs. At the moment it is only an alpha, but the goal is to make it something that objectively can save a lot of time, avoiding returns and making users more aware of what they are buying.
