This will likely get significantly easier, cheaper, and faster in the very near future. Voice generation is relatively easy. We’re going to need a whole new class of captchas and shibboleths to use online, but honestly, it’s such a fast-moving target that I think cutting-edge AI will forever be a step ahead. I think the best we can hope for is to have viable countermeasures for commoditized AI techniques. For now that might include logic problems (which ChatGPT and its current competitors are quite bad at) but I’m sure the big players already have more advanced language bots in development.
I reallllly hate the idea of online IDs but it might be the only way.
