Are there any NIP ideas to fight off AI bots? Just curious. nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424

Fight off no.
Force em to pay sats? Yes.
paid relays.
this is probably the best solution.
In this case, are there any ideas on how to make paying for relays easier?
what the problem about the payment?
What client are you using? Is there any client out there that guides new users on how to manage relay subscriptions?
I'm using amethyst, I don't think amethyst does that, wine relay is just a one time payment, they have their own web page and it's very simple, but yes I don't don't think there is a unified UX to manage subscriptions. I think it's more than a Nostr problem it's a problem for any LN subscription and Nostr can fix that imo.
Are there any other ideas out there, or paid relays become the general consensus as the only practical fix?
none that i've seen
I do not even see the need of fighting ai bots. Whene you read someones posts and your like them, what is the difference to you if it is a bot or a human?
I think the arguments matter. Not whom is axpressing them.
I wanna follow you for long enough to see you rage when you find out that your Internet friend is just a bot put in place to hoard your time.
It does matter a lot. The difference has to do with proof-of-work and having skin in the game.
Why? Why you think someones insights are more valuable to you based on how much time they invest into nostr?
Denfitly 0 causational connection in time of using Nostr and general ability to argue and bring up logical arguments.
Real people’s insights are the only ones I value since their effort shows genuine commitment and accountability, unlike current AI, which lacks artificial general intelligence (AGI) or self-awareness. Bots spew content without intent or stakes, making them pointless to engage. Most people aren’t contrarians—they parrot popular views. Flood the system with bots, and you’ve got algorithms puppeteering the masses, amplifying conformity to a dystopian extreme.
I am not arguing, that there are no people, that give great ideas. But I use llama 3.0 via duckduckgo. And my point is, that it has valuable outputs quiet often. So therefore I would not be freightened for bots using npubs.
And to be critical has always been important. This did not really change with language models (I do not like to say intelligence, since I would not assume that any language model is intelligent.)
