really all they can do. Now. You might think well, eventually these models are gonna be smart enough to realize that the recommendation came from the brand's website or was probably placed by the brand themselves, but the truth is that would be way more expensive than just a simple search tool. It would have to be causing a serious issue for the large search engines to be forced into doing that. It's much more likely they'll handle it the same way Google has.
