The solution might be as simple as paywalls and user verification and accepting anything in front of a paywall is just AI generated spam trash. Also teaching history out of a history book, or possibly a walled garden online platform instead of wikipedia/youtube.

I agree. As well as creating new impetus for governments to push towards RealID, I think generative AI will accelerate the rate at which websites start to wall-off behind logins and we see a resurgence in private communities.
