We could use public libraries to do some kind of “are you a human” confirmation. I.e. you get a digitally signed token proving that you are a human, that you can use on the internet to show that you are human. Only the library has to be trusted by the public …
yes, but at least you can’t easily create 10000 bots at once. you could only create 1 bot at a time, and that would already do a lot.
I’m not so much worried about 1 person using AI to write their comments; I’m way more worried about large political parties making 10000 bots to support their agenda (propaganda) or companies creating a lot of bots to create hype about their products (advertisement).
walk up to your library in person and let them give you a chip card that contains an (anonymous) private key, or let them verify your fediverse account somehow, both methods would be without you showing them any kind of ID card.
So is this going to only work with fediverse accounts or are you gonna try and teach people about public/private keys?
And what happens when that database leaks and someone starts using your key to post illegal things? Or should we use password rules and have your library generate you a new key for every platform?

Could just do MFA checks for all posts, comments, and upvotes. Imagine?
It would cut out the slop about 99%
MFA helps boost security of an account. It would do nothing to prove a user is human or not.
Dissent detected, officers en route
And then you take that token and give it to your AI…?

How would you verify that you are a human? The only ways I can really think of are enormously invasive

Well, no, that wouldn’t work you see, because that would be lying.
