Agreed. But we need a solution against bots just as much. There's no way the majority of comments in the near future won't just be LLMs.
We need digital identities, like, yesterday.
Yeah I'm not seeing any way around that sadly. At least for places where you want/need to know the content is from an actual person.
Precisely, and it can stay pseudo-anonymous. A trusted third party (Governments? Banks? A YMCA gym membership?) issuing a hashed certificate or token is all that's needed. You don't need to know my name, age, gender: but if you could confirm that I DO have those attributes, and X, Y, and Z parties confirmed it, then it's likely I'm a human.
