My point is, why do people set up bots? They are probably trying to get money. Looking at it naively through a system designer's goggles: Fixing it at the platform level by verifying if a user is human or not is fixing it at the wrong level. It's just a band-aid. We should instead fix it at the societal level so that nobody has the incentive to set up a decieving bot.
- yreg 3y agoI can't see eliminating all desire to lie, spread disinformation, propaganda, scam people, astroturf, manipulate opinions, cheat at videogames and so on WORLDWIDE being feasible at all this century, perhaps ever. Ending all wars and conflicts forever is one of the many prerequisites. Somewhat-AI-resistant techniques to prevent bots from overrunning a platform seem at least feasible.
