This reminds me of how I used to have spam-filled email inbox before I switched over to GMail. It almost feels like we are back to that state. There's now a large demand in keeping the context of humans free of AI bullshit. I wonder what the solution to this would look like? Identity-based blacklisting?

Would it be cynical to think World(coin) is the answer?

What would a cryptocurrency even provide except more scammers ?

I’m not saying it won’t, but the entire premise of World is to “authenticate humans online.” Once LLMs have made the dead internet theory a reality, another one of Altman’s companies can provide the solution: only trust content that is authenticated by World to be real, organic, human content.

I don't think it is the answers but I could definitely see it being intended as an attempt to answer it.

it s not like spammers are anonymous

Not cynical, just wrong - yet another identification solution doesn't solve anything.

We are going to end up in a "personal certificate" cryptographically secure ID environment for users ...

... and everybody else is going to be assumed to be a software system.-

PS. Even worse (better): Your agent is going to be cryptographically bound to your identity.-

How do you ensure that I don't write the proposal with an LLM, have it on my mobile screen (or even printed), and then copy it typing with my human hands in the super secure environment?

I don't see a way of ensuring actual human input that doesn't involve panopticon-level surveillance.

This would not be a problem because human hands are limited, their output is bounded.

I mean, this is the "analogue gap" all over again.-

(Yes, I'd say it'd mitigate the issues somewhat, with the putative slowdown ...)

the obvious solution is using AI to De-AI
