A per pro of nothing, I believe strongly that all online identities created towards the end of 2022 should be subject to a 'human verification test'. Just in case. Not sure how it would work, but just suggesting it might be useful/valuable.

Awesome, thanks for the correction. At least I've proved my personal humanness. :)

Why end of 2022? It's kind of an ongoing problem. And one that Musk has very much failed to deal with; someone I follow has a different crypto-spam bot reply to every single post they make!

The end of 2022 is when the tools gained enough mass exposure, and more critically ease of use, that anyone anywhere could set up an account, and start creating 'humans' for future use. Before then, it was a specialist task, so much less common I think.

From now on (Day G1?), we're going to be awash with AI written stuff. Literally drowned in it. The first AI drafted marketing emails have already started hitting my inbox, and that's just the start I guess.

Definitely something like that. Before it's too late?
