A simple solution would be a physical hardware (human) authenticator, that observes you in visual + IR wavelengths + audio + LiDAR, and functions as a sort of "I am not a robot" check.
But then most users would have a ChatGPT template with: "consider the following thread link and compose a response for me that would make me dunk on everyone"

The privacy implications alone would relegate me to not using that thing. I'm not even a huge fan of FaceID, and the only reason I have used it is because the details of its implementation being public.
- highduc 3y agoI was clearly being facetious, but can totally imagine a company coming out with this "solution". Maybe even governments.
- croutonwagon 3y agoSorry I didn’t pick up on it. And there have been govt types that have floated such proposals including expanding the RealID program into something like this. I seem to recall the Brits also voicing the want to try something like this, and they tend to be quite ahead of the curve on the domestic surveillance and privacy invasive policy front.
