Not sure if this is good idea as it provided self identified data from bots to harvest

But still, content creators get badges/s

I generally agree that it will become increasingly harder to distinguish non-AI generated content and authenticity will suffer a lot. Maybe the solution to this is get connected with other humans directly and provide authenticity as first hand experience.

From consumer’s perspective they don’t care where it came from. In commercial setting(read: 99%) it’s always get stuff cheaper and better. AIGC fits both, the only better options is run faster than the waves and hope it don’t take you(i.e. “learn to code”)

This is the “disruption” we tech and VC has been talking XR/Crypto/5g/metaverse is about. Except it came with large body counts for those who are directly impacted by SD/Llama in the wild,

Somehow all this AI cannot break out of the advertising/spam mold it seems. All the billions made in high-value markets just cannot be reached so far.

Well it takes around 10 years for software to figure out the best monetization model. I suspect we will need a few years before the dust settles

If consumers don’t care then where something comes from them why companies waste ink on “ethically sourced” “sustainably farmed” “fair trade” or whatever? Isn’t that a foolish waste of dye?

I would argue "organic", "fair trade" is more a marketing-feel-good problem than actually solving the problem. There's always many if and buts which complete nullify the effect of the original label means and manufactures are more interested to lie to consumers.

I fully believe that once AGI gets in the hands of the common people, then internet communication will stop being as popular. At least communication in the form of talking to strangers online. It will be too hard to determine if you are actually talking to a real person or not. And people also may feel too worried that their likeliness will be used by an AI model to generate deepfakes of them.

I doubt the bots will believe these badges any more than I do.

Well, at least we won't make AI learn on AI-generated data because that, I imagine, would deteriorate quality pretty rapidly.

“I imagine” is carrying a lot of weight there.

AI is already trained using AI models of what humans would think of a proposed output. That has been a huge leap forward, not a deterioration.

People are already training SD models on Midjourney output.
