It’s futile. The first thing people will do if the ”written by a human” crypto-signature takes off is to wire it up with LLMs. You can’t make any reasonable guarantees on authorship unless you change the entire hardware stack and tack on loads of DRM.
Even if that happens, and say Apple integrates sigs all the way down through their system UI keyboards, secure enclaves, and TPM, you think they’re going to conform to some shitcoin spec? Nah man, they’ll use their own.

Companies write DRM and tend to have actual humans run the place. If the government where these humans live decides to point guns at them and demand access, most humans are going to give up the key before they give up their life.
- A4ET8a8uTh0_v2 1y agoOddly, this is the weirdest thing about all the 'its llms all the say down'. The problem starts with user trusting the provider to be dumb pipes. The moment they become smart pipes ( and one could argue we are there already ), all bets are off, because you have no comfort that even if you sent the message, it was not altered by an overzealous company bot. Edit: Us tomorrow: Your honor, my device clearly shows timestamps and allegedly offending message, but you will note the discrepancy in style, time and message that suggests that is not the case. LLM judge: Guilty. Edit2: Amusingly, the problem has been a human problem all along.
