Let's be realistic.
A "No AI" community is also just material tacked as first grade training data for the next wave of AI bots.
But for now, it at least still is a slightly nicer place to be, so I savour it as long as it lasts...
It's impossible to prevent that given Corposcum doesn't give a shit about anything actually worth living for or with and the majority of people who're being flooded with this garbage are being sucked into it, but these AI-free places are phenomenally important to retain our (online) culture and human online spaces. Without them the internet becomes useless, an amalgamation of pointless, worthless junk.
It's causing an enormous social and cultural debt we'll have to deal with in the future, as society will truly realise the (pop-)cultural void that has been created. Both the few real spaces that survived as well as archived media that was secured and preserved despite the companies doing their best to prevent it will be more important than ever.
That or the open web collapses and we're all hanging around in Messenger groups with some "Is a real human" vetting process, which is a real possibility even if the AI bubble pops.
I think there is a very high likelihood this, or a communication concept based on this, will be the future. Maybe like SSL trusted identity certificates, but not for websites, but for users.
Send a physical envelope via post containing the temporary password for sign up
No, 95 or so cents to establish a trusted bot-in-human-skin would be a bargain, so doesn't offer any protection.
I am thinking more of a web of trust kind of thing, ideally based on physically meeting people and exchanging keys in the respective first trust stages, and also with an easy option to distrust signing certificates again in the trust chain.
That reminds me, I've been working on a similar concept years ago and might bring it back.
