I’d say proof of humanity != proof of not spammer
Solving the second one should be much easier
Discussion
There are spamming accounts now using AI to reply to posts in ways that look like a human but in a way that fosters their agenda.
The spam we saw until now it child's play. What's coming is much harder.
Does reporting help in any way or is it a waste of time?
It always helps. Your relays can use to tag spammers.
So it begins. We use AI to filter it out / reduce it. It won’t be easy. But in the long run something like the following can be used even if AI matches human ability online. Any long term solution that tries to rely on proof of humanity will fail while something like the following still has value:
AI tools + WoT + WoT based reporting / reputation + micro payments / PoW
It’s all actors. How do you distinguish against the bad actors and the good ones? Human or AI?
We haven’t even begun to scratch the surface of WoT based solutions and micro payments
