The first thing that came to my mind also.
This sounds like another privacy nightmare put on top of the already more than questionable Flock installations.

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.
But somebody made a decision to not have you guys killed
Absolutely, not questioning that for a moment!
(Same reason my wife wears similar lights when riding her horse along public roads in winter also it also looks embarrasing).
My military time has been before the incident you mentiioned btw (got drafted in 1995 for 10 months), which makes the incident even more tragic (if they didn't use the warning lights), as the lights at the rear seem to already have been common practice in some armies at the time...
I fondly remember back in the days doing military exercise marches on public roads:
The last soldier in the column would have to walk with a signalling light attached to the top of his helmet.
I typically walked in some front row (benefit of being tall and placed there for some military-aesthetics reasons), so was at least spared that embarrassment. :-)
we’re all hanging around in Messenger groups with some “Is a real human” vetting process
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.
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...
Or IT equipment.
Or (looking at the current draught during our 6th heat wave this year) water.
A bit much of a hassle to save 7.99€...
Also those useful prepaid credit cards silently seem to have disappeared (at least where I live).
Had to switch to a neobroker that issues credit cards as an alternative some years back.
Never thought I would feel grateful that the bank notifications I got so far in my live have been practically 100% inquiries to go see my bank clerk so he can sell me an underperforming pension scheme...
I wish I will still have as much drip as Christopher Walken when I am at his age...
Well, according to OPs meme, you are all nihilistic doomerists ;-)
No, believe me, my GenX humor is much more stupider!

Hot take:
Any direct exposure to interactive apps, no matter how short, is too much for a five year old.
Just occasionally say something to them in the foreign language once in a while, effect will be greater without getting them hooked early on to interactive media with addictive properties.
