The open internet will become divided into verified websites, and the rest will be left for bots to fight on forever.
It will be used as an excuse by our governments to force a ID verification system tied to your real life person, refuse it and fight it in every possible way.
Who verifies the verification though?
Meanwhile we need enclaves of not corporate bullshit (like fedi but also) including bringing back webrings and old school chats. And usenet. And irl word of mouth.
Because fuck all that shit.
I mean, verification doesn't really help because in the end it's still mostly human posting the AI slop (I think).
That said, we'll probably need some sort of reputation system. Something like a revamped GPG or Web Of Trust, where you a) can tag users/websites you find trustworth and b) can see what other people you trust think about someone/something.
