This is the downside of letting Google’s AI review filter make decisions without enough human context: I just watched a video from a dad asking Google to restore the reviews on his daughter's memorial, Hannah’s Daffodils. After losing his daughter, he planted 10,000 daffodils in her memory and created a pin on Google Maps so people could visit, leave messages, and help keep her memory alive. When people began leaving reviews, Google started removing them. But the reviews were not removed because people did anything wrong. They were likely caught by Google’s automated review filter, which was doing exactly what it is designed to do: - The reviews were coming from people all over the world who had not physically visited the location. - The memorial had only a handful of reviews, then suddenly received a large wave overnight. To an automated system, that can look suspicious. But this is the problem with relying too heavily on AI automation. It cannot always understand the human context behind the data it’s receiving. A memorial is not a business trying to manipulate its rating. It is a place where people are showing support, sharing love, and keeping someone’s memory alive. Thankfully, people rallied around this story. The video spread, more people learned about Hannah’s Daffodils, and the memorial now has 1,300 reviews and counting.
