This makes a lot of sense for Reddit. Genuine discussions about things being turned into reviews is a pretty damn good use of AI. But I also really hate the idea as a user (well, not of Reddit anymore lol). If I was having a genuine discussion about Leatherman pliers, my target is the people I'm in a discussion with and not a general audience. It is invasive to turn that into a review. That candidness is probably extremely valuable though.
That said it's already being done by Google and everybody else. This is just being a bit more direct about it.
It reminds me of this person I know who always steers the conversation into what he is interested in. It feels like a bad faith conversation, and if I can't downvote and discourage that, what is left?
