We had captchas to solve that a while ago. Turns out, some people are willing to be paid a miserable salary to solve the captchas for bots. How would this be different? The fact of being a human becomes a monetizable service which can just be rented out for automated systems. No "personhood" check can prevent this.

Lol, AI firms trying to devour the entire internet for training data, discovers that it needs a way to ensure that it doesn't train on its own output. So it pitches credentials as something to fight AI rather than to mark non-AI data as delicious for ingestion.

Machine that builds personhood credentials being run by a company that creates fake digital personas? What could go wrong?

This is like bullet deflectors to keep your gun from shooting holes in the propellor.

Yes, early WWI planes had them.

Yes please tell us who the real people are! We AI companies can't tell anymore since we are polluting the http waters.

Use a proof of work system. The more work that is required, the fewer bots are going to actually take the time to do it. You could easily put in a system that says something to the effect of, has this person done at least 24 hours worth of computational work in order to validate this. If no, then they can't do whatever. If yes, then they can do that thing. There's a very low chance that a bought would actually do 24 hours worth of work. And even if they did, they sure as hell wouldn't be generating millions of accounts doing it that way.

The way I see it, you force some sort of proof of work that takes 24 hours to do, and then you can just submit that to each individual website you wish to work with so that they can validate that you've actually done the work you say you have.

With the multiple ethics violations, defending AI right now is to defend the meat grinder that is willing to churn out cash for those at the top at the expense of literally anything and anyone

I can't imagine this turning into any kind of ism. Nope, not at all.

Sounds like PGP keys?

Optionally use KeyOxide problem solved
