The technical solution is interesting but I think the only way to truly go about it is web of trust. Everyone knows that my work doesn't use AI because I hate it so much and so many people know that I don't use AI. It's embedded into the core of my personality. These tools can always be gamed but a true belief against AI cannot.

And what's preventing you to LLM slop your next post?

We believe you on internet karma?

A lot of people do, that's the point. And over time there will be zero evidence that I ever used an LLM because I haven't. Many people in real life also believe it and they can also vouch for me.

You're missing the point.

If all we're left with is "trust me bro", then we're left with nothing.

Disagree with that one. "trust me" is not a good policy if your intent is to minimize deception. That's why "trust me" is not a good policy for banks because even a 1% loss of people's money is a bad thing. But it's a good policy for filtering out people because you only need to find a few good ones to have a community. The very strong anti-AI people and the very strong pro-AI people should be easy to find, and what's in the middle can be ignored.
