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?

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

i am sure for some people speaking with a high-quality bot is going to be fine. as far as i'm concerned i'd like to know that i'm speaking with a bot (like i do when i use chatgpt or speak with customer service bots)

I think that will just go away ... I'm thinking about it as cookies ... we wanted to know about them and then we hated the stupid pop-ups

There might be moral considerations If a bot tells me they are having problems i would not feel as ethically inclined to respond vs a human

I think you're forgetting that they're (well, they will be) acting on behalf of someone 😇

I don't think that strongly changes my ethical views actually but maybe it's relevant for others
