ReplyGuy spam sucks, however it's allowing for the emergence of a stronger and more robust Nostr. If we have a wide open communication protocol, that means that anyone and everyone can participate if they choose to do so. ReplyGuy is nothing. Trust me. It's so insignificant compared to what's coming in the future. ReplyGuy is a wake-up call to developers, but also to users too. None of us should be complacent when we need to be vigilant with our social communication. This is a mere scrimmage for what's coming down the road. Use this time to build solutions. Use this practice game to fine tune your relays.
You can choose paid relays or choose smaller community relays, such as those built on WoT or other metrics.
We have a lot of choices for paid relays.

What are WoT relays? These are a semi-new concept. They can be invite only or they can be constructed via a person's personal Web-of-Trust follow list.
For example: You use use wss://pyramid.fiatjaf.com by nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hszxmhwden5te0wfjkccte9emk2um5v4exucn5vvhxxmmd9us2xuyp if you are invited by an existing user. Additionally, you can use wss://wot.utxo.one or wss://nostrelites.org if you're in the Web-of-Trust of either nostr:nprofile1qqsw9n8heusyq0el9f99tveg7r0rhcu9tznatuekxt764m78ymqu36cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuat50phjummwv5hszymhwden5te0wahhgtn4w3ux7tn0dejj7znxpeu or myself. (Meaning one of us follows you or one of the people we follow follows you, going one layer deep in our social connection.)
More WoT relays will pop-up or already do exist.
As the outbox model grows and gains popularity, smaller community relays will become the normal way that people use Nostr the most, IMO.

Agree!!
Will personhood credentials be the solution to counter #AI deception and spam such as the #Nostr #ReplyGuy ?
Microsoft, OpenAI and other academic researchers have just released a paper on the topic. It highlights the importance for these credentials to allow for unlinkable anon pseudonyms but will this really be the case? There is going to be competition between centralized and decentralized #ProofOfPersonhood systems. It’s unlikely that governments would want to support #DigitalID that allow for anon profiles although a lack of #privacy may impede the adoption of these systems.
Several PoP systems are mentioned in this paper including #Idena (decentralized, privacy-preserving).
