What's the point? In the last 24 hours there were only 381 new posts and you're worried about spam, AI, fake accounts... I thought that's what the fees for interacting with the blockchain were for...
If someone posts something interesting, it doesn't matter if the account is real or not... Or rather, since this is a 'Delegated' Proof of Stake network, the more Blurt Power the account has, the more real the person is.
I mean I think in the long run. And I treat this post as a note of an idea that came to my mind and verifying it, here's what others will say.
But what you say is only partly true. You see, in the future it may turn out to be extremely important to distinguish which content comes from a human and which from AI. Especially for some curators it may be crucial. Another issue is that account verification is also important for other reasons than just distinguishing whether content is from a human or not. It is about business relations or people impersonating popular people.
Let's say Donald Trump makes an account on Blurt but then 3 other accounts appear and you don't know which one really belongs to Donald Trump :P
Or an example from a different barrel. Binance sets up an account with us because they want to list us, but someone has already set up an account called @binance, and people who want to send a blurt on binance sometimes make a mistake and send it to the wrong account.
That's what you have on Hive, and the probit exchange.
There is an @probit account that even has a probit exchange icon set up, but it's a fake account, and the real probit account is the @probithive account
So you see, it's not just about the originality of the content, but also about the security of services and combating impersonation.
Will the AI be able to pass itself off as human like this? I have my doubts as to whether AI's limitations will make it human-like in the future. If someone succeeds, congratulations.
Thinking along these lines, it might be important to have a way of verifying important accounts...
That’s very True.
