You're right about that. Dealing with astroturfing will be an arms race and will require some proof of "humanity" in social media, forums, etc. But, ultimately

You're right about that. Dealing with astroturfing will be an arms race and will require some proof of "humanity" in social media, forums, etc. But, ultimately, I don't buy the idea that astroturfing is all bad. Or the opposite, that the lack thereof is necessarily good. I think bombarding with AI content can have possitive effects, like overwhelming human moderators who built echo chambers and ban wrongthink (e.g., Reddit). Or, it has the capacity for a small organization to compete with the likes of the NYTimes, or The Atlantic, etc which currently control the narrative.
