Just gonna jot this down right here for posterity. I predict that eventually, companies that license data scraping rights to AI will have to counter the sheer volume of false information created by multitudes of bot actions. (i.e. upvoting/downvoting certain opinions, boosting topics)
They will achieve this by conducting interviews for everybody that wants to be verified as an actual person behind the keyboard, and whose actions on public forums will be weighted more heavily by AI data-scrapers. The main reason being companies like Reddit can charge higher licensing fees because they have a verified pool of people that ad campaigns are trying to target.
For reference, this was my reaction to seeing this article posted earlier.
If anyone wants to call me an idiot and move on, that's okay too.
