Yes, but they do it in a way that make rich people even richer. And the trickle down economy makes sure that it also makes politicians richer.

That sounds more like a prayer than a plan.

Or maybe enforce login with a hardware token like Yubikey or Nitrokey. I don’t think you could automate that(?)

Yea, but AI bots do it at an unprecedented scale. The price of generating bullshit is practically 0. There is already cheap AI content every where and people are already getting tired of it. It’s true that human actors has done something similar for a long time, but now AI will make the process so easy that AI junk will be everywhere. Look at Google search results, it’s already filled with blogspam generated by AI. Blogspam was a problem before, but now it’s insufferable. Cheap midjourney “art” is showing up in search results even when you search for real classic artist, you get these ugly AI copies. Generative AI is the ultimate bullshit and spam machine.

Yea, it will be a hard problem to solve. There’s no good solutions right now. Hopefully someone with the creativity and skill will come up with something.

That might work for now, but AI bots can easily create more content faster than human moderators can go through. We will need mechanisms to prove humanness.

How do we keep the bots out of Lemmy? Eventually all the AI rot will spread to the fediverse.

There is a warning from a user on Reddit. Might be worth considering before buying. https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/16qekm6/dont_buy_an_umbrel/

Why not get an Intel N100? It’s about the same price and much better performance. Raspberry Pis is kind of overpriced these days.
