Well we’re going to need some system of PKI that is tied to real identities. You can keep being anonymous if you want but I would prefer not and prefer to not interact with the anonymous, just like how I don’t want to interact with people wearing ski masks.


I doubt that's possible. I can always lend my identity to an AI.

The best you can hope for is not "a human wrote this text", it's "a human vouched for this text".


Why are you posting on this forum where the user's identity isn't verified by anyone then? :)

But the real problem is that having the poster's identity verified is no proof that their output is not coming straight from a LLM.


I don’t really have a choice about interacting with the anonymous at this point.

It certainly will affect the reputation of people that are consistently publishing untruths.

Oh? I thought there are a lot of very well identified people making a living from publishing untruths right now on all social media. How would PKI help, when they're already making it very clear who they are?
