I used to think that bots on Farcaster were problematic because of spam, but it's bigger than that. If I respond to a bot, I feel like an idiot who wasted his time building a connection with a ChatGPT wrapper. It makes me suspicious of new users, and I tend to respond primarily to people I already know. This means that it's harder for genuine new users to build relationships on the network. It could be fine for social *media*, but it's bad for the social *network*. What would be the ways to mitigate that?

yes, have been saying this. trite "but what if bots add value" fails to capture the impact of bot-paranoia on real human users -- who lets not forget are the source of value in this network

There are many onchain human verification solutions. Can Warpcast allow us to pick one and display results from there? For example, if the user has a Coinbase verified profile, just show that in the profile. That would be super useful, no?

question is - if this is the right question to ask Mac? We're heading to the world where each one of us will have "assistants" for many different areas of our lives. There could easily be new client buitl with @talent or some zk KYC built in, so you would know there are only real people but even real people use bots or ChatGPT-likes to translate casts or form answers. 🤔 what I'm trying to say is - I would not be that hung-up on "human checkmark" but rather on quality of the interaction

Yeah, I wonder if @farcaster implemented KYC / KYB in onboarding new users, if this would serve us sorting function. They could still let people be anon, but know that there’s a real human with a heart, soul and noggin behind profile. What do you think @macbudkowski?

Because I care about growing the protocol. I try to keep track of thoughtful replies. It’s kind of hard honestly. But it’s also been weirdly fun

OpenPassport (ex zkPassport) can be one such solution: https://warpcast.com/tempetechie.eth/0x48228e49 Basically you use your passport to prove you're a human, without revealing any details about yourself.

I'm seeing bot responses all over now, even from actual accounts (i.e. real people using bots for many of their posts and replies, not a "bot-only" type account.) You can still usually tell that it's a bot, but that window is quickly closing. We could get to a place with each person having a network of custom bots that provide the perfect interactions, and that users will vastly prefer over the messy, real-person social networks.

Bots I've seen so far are pretty easy to spot tbh. 90% the take 2 or 3 elements from the original message, and either conclude their cast with 1 or 2 sentence going in the direction of the original cast, or ask a question.

It’s very easy to tell a bot from an actual user Let’s be fr I’ve only been here a week and the difference is very clear to me Unless actual users are just being dumb and I definitely wouldn’t interact with someone that constantly gives off dumb vibes

How about just clarifying like “I’m the true human being just connect with me” as the beginning? 🤔
