I mean yes, this is a likely outcome.

Unless we get some kind of verified human authentication it's nearly impossible to solve. And that in itself introduces all kinds of new problems.

Welcome to the dead internet.

It's not impossible to solve, and it doesn't require any kind of onerous human verification either. We already saw this earlier this year: LLM-generated comments were everywhere on HN, rotting this place out. Then dang implemented a no-LLM-comments policy and a filter that does a remarkably good job of automatically detecting and flagging them. It is by choice that the submissions of blatantly obviously LLM-generated content are allowed to rot out ShowHN.

Account created date + … something?

		>Account created date Well, the future sucks for your children. Also, thank goodness I made thousands of HN accounts to sell to LLMs. No, this really just shifts the shape of the problem around, but the problem is still the same size.
