If people set up their own instances with 100% LLM bots how would we even know they are bots to defederate? The AIs are too realistic. Only giveaway would be the ones dumb enough to make accounts post/comment 24/7 with seconds between each comment.
Right now, it's still possible to realize texts are written by llms, due to style and mistakes, but it can become a serious problem in the near future, and we are kind of ignoring it, because no one is preparing in any way.
It will take someone really smart to figure this out without requiring some form of identity confirmation (which would be horrible imo), like using credit cards or (even worse) government digital IDs (I live in a country where we have a gov ID app which can be used to sign documents and confirm ID online but if I had to use it on Lemmy or any other social media I'd just fuck off).
