This. It's the elephant in the room for so many of our problems related to abuse, trolling, influence campaigns, garbage content, attribution etc etc.

OTOH, is proof of personhood really what we want long term, or is that just a proxy? Hypothetically, if an AI is good & trustworthy enough, why not allow a higher "source rating" for that than low quality human content?

Hehe hadn't seen that. For sure. To critize the strip (treading on thin ice, I know), I think the core issue is not the bots generating content, but that they're participating in the voting.
