People keep saying this and I keep warning them to be careful what they wish for. The most likely outcome is that "certification of human generated content" arrives in the form of remote attestation where you can't get on the internet unless you're on a device with a cryptographically sealed boot chain that prevents any untrusted code from running and also has your camera on to make sure you're a human. It won't be required by law, but no real websites will let you sign in without it, and any sites that don't use it will be overrun with junk.
I hate this future but it's looking increasingly inevitable.

Ideally, you verify you're human by signing up for some centralized service in real-life, maybe at the post office or something. And then people can ask this service if you're real by providing your super-long rotating token. So, just like an existing IDP but big.
