- War against humans and AI commences. The AI content farms will destroy everything by reducing the signal to noise ratio so that all content is worthless regardless of who wrote it.

Honestly, since the release of ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion this Us something I have been thinking about a lot. I we thought that what we saw in the last 10-15 years was an explosion in content available online, we cannot even imagine the quantity of content that will come. I am actually surprised this has not happened yet, although I think that we will see more and more articles with contributions by ChatGPT. Short to mid-term I hope that this will not lead to a decrease in content quality/lack of diversity. Long-term I think we will see mechanisms arise to distinguish human writing from AI generated content.

I am aware that this might sound pessimistic, I am actually excited to see where his things will evolve!

Probably through digital signatures and sovereign identity.
Adding more technology isn’t going to help this.
Why?
You can sign garbage therefore it is a human issue.
But can’t you whitelist/blacklist signatures? Then use a web of trust to determine the probability of trusting non-listed signatures. Filter content by trust probability and spam should disappear.
You can but bugger that. Better to kill the ROI by not even looking at it.
