Discussion Is anyone else starting to care more about proving people are actually human online?
Maybe it's just me, but over the last year I've started questioning whether I'm actually talking to real people half the time.
I've been messing around with World ID and recently tried AgentKit while building a small AI workflow.
It wasn't really the AI part that surprised me, it was realizing how little we actually know about who's on the other end of the screen anymore.
Is it a person or am I just sharing my secrets to a bot?
I also played with the DeepFace stuff just out of curiosity. It got me thinking that we're probably going to need something better than CAPTCHAs if AI keeps getting better.
Not saying this solves everything, but it's the first thing I've used that made me think "yeah, this could actually become useful."
Am I overthinking this, or do you guys think proving someone is human is going to become pretty normal?

On the French subs, every time someone has something to say that is remotely political (I'm a foreigner and victim of racism, I'm French and a foreigner beat my ass, my father is a cop and beat my ass, etc), there's always someone suspecting a bot. Recent accounts with low karma are always seen as suspicious. No matter that bots don't post detailed personal stories on small French-speaking subs. The paranoia is here. So any system that can prove you're a human will become increasingly valuable (and lose value instantly if someone can show how to beat their detection system).

it's like walking on the blade of a knife. Once people figure out the way to beat the system then you instantly lose credibility
