Did The Absolute Sound use an AI chatbot to review the Soulution 717 monoblock amp?

Yes it has the cadence exactly like AI chat and reads like an ad copy. Even if it wasn't AI-gen that's one of the laziest, sloppiest reviews I've ever seen. The average head-fi poster on a Tuesday puts vastly more care & effort into their gear impressions. Everyone involved should be embarrassed to have published it.

That’d be an embarrassment of a review for a $3k amp, but for a $130k amp?!?  I don’t expect much from TAS reviews in the first place, but that’s just ridiculous. 

I was surprised by this, thinking also that it read like advertising / marketing copy, especially the second half. I didn't consider that it may have been produced with AI until a reviewer friend pointed it out, and then I agreed (I'm learning to spot AI copy). Very lazy if true. 

You passed the lab rat test. TAS was testing you.  Beta testing now complete.  What they now do with the results is anybody’s guess.  Sterile word salad.  Like so much improvisation;  lots of notes without communicating anything.

It transformed Soulution’s flagship line into something broadly appealing—balancing accuracy, realism, and musical beauty.       What??!

Perhaps TAS writers went on strike without alerting anyone.

Glad I did not renew my TAS subscription this year.
