I suppose the next internet needs to be built around networks of trust to counteract this. Everyone will be assumed to be spammers by default. Then you add whitelists and use network algorithms to determine if user X is worth your time.

Curation and experts are coming back big time. Read it in the Economist -> high trust. Any public forum -> assume nonsense.

honestly we should have had that for a long time. Being able to blacklist sites on Google is a feature we should have had for a long time precisely because it would even be in Google's interest to add such a feature. They can use it as an extra datapoint in their search algorithm, if lots of people blacklist a site then maybe downrank it a little, maybe even depending on the social rank of the people.

Need long-lived pseudonyms that can accrue reputation. Ideally they'd be securely portable from site to site. Some schemes for this use fancy cryptography, which may have some value. But something simple with web domains might be able to do the heavy lifting.

This comment reminds me of an xkcd comic from 12 years ago[0] in which two characters are discussing AI, and one has built a system to defeat spam comments by asking users to rate other comments as "Constructive" or "Not constructive". Their end goal, as it turns out, is to force the bots to make automated constructive comments. At the time, the idea that a bot could even do that in response to any comment was pretty far-fetched. Nowadays, the flaw is obvious: How do you test that the comment is constructive? Of course, we could train an AI - even ChatGPT - to do that (An example prompt could be "Please look at the following comment posted on a social media site. If the comment is constructive, say 'constructive'. If the comment is not constructive, say 'not constructive'. If you aren't sure, say 'unknown'. Do not give any other responses."), but at that point you're kinda fighting fire with fire.
