Maybe the answer is the usual answer, whether we like it or not, that the power of tools cuts both ways. Your own glasses or other device of some sort tells you if you know them, and/or if other people have labelled them as a scammer, or if they have too little reputation at all. It's only really a problem during the transition period when some people are using a new facility and some are not. That's kind of depressing to think that we will all be forced to engage with ai bullshit, but I think it's not so bad in the long run because there is more than one way to use any new tech. Eventually there will be forms of ai tools that aren't gemini etc, controlled by someone else for purposes other than yours.

>It's only really a problem during the transition period Think ahead to the day your reputation in the system turns negative from a bug, a hack, a group targeting you with reports, etc.

  That is just another example of "It's only a problem when it's not in balance." If you're the only one it ever happened to, yeah that's a problem. But once it's happened to everyone or at least everyone knows someone that it happened to, then it's no longer any more of a problem than any other problem. It just means eventually it becomes normal to occasionally start building a new reputation from scratch. No one will trust a new identity with anything important, but also everyone knows it happens so they don't assume the worst either, and there are ways to start rebuilding your karma, and it's just a garden variety hassle not the end of the world. Like a new ebay account. For every problem or "think ahead" there is just yet another a little further think ahead. Point being, it's not that there are no problems, it's that whether anyone likes any given new development or not, once it exists, it exists. It's part of the world and cannot be un-created. Whatever the problem is, there are many possible responses, but one response that is absolutely not available and uttery silly to waste any breath on, is "this shouldn't exist, make it go back to before it existed".

    Well I don't know where you're getting "this shouldn't exist" from.
