I feel like we are fighting the wrong battle here. Eventually AI bot behavior online will be indistinguishable from human, but so what?! We've had teams of underpaid humans being paid to be organic bots for years now.

Whether the person interacting with your website is human or not isn't relevant anymore. What matters is what they are doing; be they human, bot, or AI agent.

You have to understand the motive to understand why this is a problem; their startups haven’t unicorned yet. They never had a fallback plan so humanity must cling to web app driven economics until they unicorn.

See also Elon demanding ad spend on his platform or like it’s literally just like when the Nazis invaded Poland. Anyone got some E? PLUR, bro but also fewer vacay days for you.

Empty economic activity driven by fiat decree of wealth hoarders suffering from post war and Cold War and leaded gas fume, lead water fueled paranoias and psychosis.

People made insane by memorization of illusory social obligations to history always run the world.
