Simonw, we are about to have much worse problems from bot swarms. Sleeper bots trained on “get more upvotes” will amass karma points and then be unlesshed as implacable crowds of “people” pushing public opinion around. They will amass capital and social capital to the point where regular humans represent a vashingly small sliver of online capital. This idea of CAPTCHAs and “human only, no bots” networks is only for a decade or two, until bots just become more desirable members of every community, to humans and other bots. What people don’t get is that their individual decisions in their own self interest doom the group. Dad works 10 hours a day to provide for family. Then mom does too. Now they both neglected their kids and each other. Similarly, you choose a bot for its wittier comebacks and impeccably romantic style of talking. Your husband chooses a bot for its better sexual techniques and never complaining. Ultimately, neither of you needs the other and you’re one step away drom NO ONE IN SOCIETY needing you. You would become the Borg. Except why have the drone bodies at all?
