How long before bots are involved in the majority of our online interactions?
With each bot trying to persuade you to buy a product or buy into some propaganda. Sure its not bad now, but in a decade when the effect is more obvious because each country/corporation has their own Nvidia spam machine competing for your attention, will people give up on online interaction outside those we don't know IRL?
- rideontime 3y agoWhat's the tangible difference between that and the algorithms that are already involved in the majority of our online interactions?
- imacomputer 3y agothat I can talk with you and get your opinion on this topic which is valuable :) Otherwise it may be some bot trying to aggressively persuade me to buy some new bot-detection product (for instance)

- Barrin92 3y agono, we'll just move to cryptographically signed everything like we moved from http to https and just assume everything else is insecure or garbage. We thankfully have tech to establish identity, it's just not ubiquitous yet. We're just in a sort of uncanny valley right now where people take more things at face value than they should and consumer products haven't all caught up yet.
- imacomputer 3y agoYeah the technology for verifying identity has existed for a long time, but who is going to be the root authority for this? will they be federal? private? I feel not many people will want to play ball on this, especially for the major forums online.
