If we can ensure that all bots are always identifiable as such, i.e. that none of them are successfully passing themselves off as people, then this problem is mitigated quite a lot. In theory that's feasible. We're hardly even trying right now.
How'd you tell if you're chatting to a bot?
Ai a pretty convincing now
Regulation, of course. Unlabeled bot on your platform? $100,000 fine. We're not completely helpless.
It's this the law or something you'd hope would happen?
It's a suggested solution
How would they police it?
How would anyone know who's a bot?
Prove it or you get a fine. Where the political will is there, this is all easy-peasy.
