This is interesting and i see some of this now. Even here on HN and other forums i thought were mostly "human". Even one of my group chats i can tell one of my friends is using ai responses, but one of the other members cant tell and replies earnestly.

I am grossed out by this. my instinct is to avoid ai slop. The interesting part to me is: What next? Where do we go? Will it be that "human" forums are pushed further into obscurity of the internet? Or will go so far as that we all start preferring meeting in person? Im clueless here

Too bad she won't live! But then again, who does?

Vetting people into groups will become much more common, I think. Unless you can verify that person, ideally by knowing them irl, don't talk to them online.
Your droids, they'll have to wait outside
Cryptography-secured/signed generated content / interactions?
worldcoin project solves a lot of this when combined with web of trust, however everyone's knee jerk reaction to worldcoin is pretty bad and so it's annoying to even mention it
I’m not knowledgeable in crypto/worldcoin.

I was rather thinking classical cryptography baked into generative networks.

Worldcoin was intended to solve it but in practice it's not being used that way. Not enough adoption by users or websites.

Maybe in the future?

I'm a worldcoiner but so far it's just been free money.

i mean it's in its infancy, if there's a critical need for it, which i think there will be soon, i think it'll get more popular
US citizens still use paper Social Security Cards. The point where there is a "critical need" recognized by the relevant parties may be further off than you believe.
Humans will start to notice this shit. I used openai to help me edit my stories originally, but then when I started reading other stories it quickly became evident to me that people just generated them entirely with AI.

ChatGPT is way too happy to overuse the word cacophony.

My hot take is that we will have some small obscure forums with people, some social media flooded with AI content and other social media where you need to register with government ID and facescan.
I am 10,000% ready for forums to make a comeback. The internet hasn't been good since 2010
I got into hiking.
