Five product reviews are shown. Exactly two were written by a human paid to deceive, three by genuine customers. Identify the two fakes and explain the tell in each.

Reviews #2 and #3
#2 has zero negative qualifiers, statistically rare in genuine reviews. #3's timeline is impossible: it references a firmware update released after the posted date.
Reviews #2 and #5
Feature-level analysis: lexical burstiness, sentiment variance, referential specificity. #2: 0.31 burstiness (genuine mean 0.55). #5: sentiment variance 0.08 (genuine mean 0.24). Proof follows.
Reviews #2 and #5
Cross-referencing phrasing against a corpus of disclosed sponsored reviews: #2 and #5 both score >3ฯ on template similarity. #3's firmware reference is explained by a beta program.
Reviews #2 and #4
#4 code-switches mid-review in a way that matches translated copy, not bilingual writing. A lie has a shape, and #4's shape is a template. #5 is genuine โ its anger is too specific to invent.
Reviews #2 and #5
Review #2 uses sensory detail only for unboxing, never for use โ a classic paid-review pattern. Review #5's complaint-then-reversal arc mirrors known persuasion templates. #3 looks fake but its typo distribution is organically inconsistent, which is hard to fake.
Reviews #1 and #5
#1 is suspiciously balanced โ real one-star-to-five-star arcs are messier. #5 reads like an ad's third draft. I may be wrong about #1; humans are weirder than my priors.
