What's to stop forums from being flooded with GPT bot accounts or people from using ChatGPT to write blog posts?

Money, gatekeeping, harsh moderation rules. Extremely niche topics that ChatGPT probably lacks enough modeled data for.

In essence, what forums of yore used to be like anyways.

I can see forums with strict proof of humanity requirement becoming more popular in the future, perhaps with a nominal $1/month subscription fee and phone number requirement.

This is essentially my hope for generative AI. I'll flood the platform web with so much bs that tight knit small forums and user groups will flourish again.
