alt Hacker NewsI'm afraid that we're in an interregnum. A few years ago AI could not pass a Turing test. A few years from now AI will better at Turing tests than we are. We're now in this strange middle zone where we are dazedly grasping for solutions.
But what happens next, when we just fail at the task of recognizing ourselves in cyberspace? Where LatestClaw is just plain better at mimicking you than you are? What happens to the living we used to claw out of the ether for ourselves?
Do I need to learn to farm?

Maybe we get off all these useless websites and stop doing our useless jobs and go back to the real world
There was one paper recently where the AI beat humans at Turing test 2/3rds of the time.
I think it's cause they told it to type like a 13 year old and nobody could imagine AI talking like that.
How does such a system sustain itself?
The majority of the content on the internet is supported by ads with the expectation that you, a human that has money, will consume something and spend money on them.
If people are replaced by some synthetic representation of themselves, what is the incentive to sell advertisements on the internet if there are no humans?
Fake/artificial traffic is a big problem today, it will be harder and harder to detect but its presence will be more and more obvious.
