I don't care, because reddit, but this makes me wonder if you can just have an AI generate a generic face and feed that in.
It's obviously not about bots. Isn't spez friendly with Peter Thiel?
Interesting idea... Is it possible to switch the verification to a bot via a bot. Damn it, when that happens I'll try it out
Absolutely, i mean it's gonna be a computer testing the image for "humanity" so of course a computer could cheat the test.
You can and it's been done already.
Shitbook wanted photo for a new messanger.com account, so I gave them a nice AI generated one.
I'd rather not use messenger, but I have relatives that do, so am stuck.
What I find amusing is; people that say "hey, let me send you a message on _____" (insert WhatsApp, Insta, FB, Telegram etc) and are aghast when I say "sorry, don't have that. I can do phone or Signal?".
