It's unclear to me how that is different from today where people already pay for content posting by humans. I suppose it might make anonymous user reviews or use testimonials worth even less than they are today, but presumably for shooting the shit it matters not whether you're doing it with a person or AI.
I wonder if we're going to want some sort of ID tied to an account so we can at least talk to communities. And if we'll split more back into smaller communities where we kind of get to know the people or AIs in them vs Twitter etc.
I think it will be a difference in scale. It will be cheaper to pay for AI bots en masse, flooding forums and social media more efficiently.
But I agree with that federation would help combat this phenomenon.
Maybe the dead internet conspiracy theory will become true!
