you’re mostly correct, but as someone receiving dubious replies, i do care if they are human or not. if a person has human looking credentials with the same username across several web2 properties, i’ll give them more patient attention than a bot posting the same content.
yes they can hook that account to gpt but they can only do so a couple times as establishing web of human looking mutual across various web2 properties for the same username for example is time consuming and likely not worth it.
you’re wrong that this introduces friction to sign ups because you offer this as an optional badge and reply ranking prioritization factor, not a barrier to entry to the network
i realize there’s very little point telling you this because this is exactly the type of topic where you’ve formed what you believe to be the correct deep opinion and dismiss anyone who disagrees with your conclusion
