That can be automated away too.
People will be more than willing to say, "Claude, impersonate me and act on my behalf".

I do this every time I find myself typing something I could get written up over or even fired for.
1. I'm usually too emotional to write out why I feel that way instead of saying what I feel.
2. I really don't like the person (or their idea) but I don't want to get fired over it.
Claude is really great at this: "Other person said X, I think it is stupid and they're a moron for suggesting this. Explain to them why this is a terrible idea or tell me I'm being an idiot."
Sometimes it tells me I'm being an idiot, sometimes it gives me nearly copy-pasta text that I can use and agree with.

I'm now imagining a future where actual people's identities are blacklisted just like some IP addresses are dead to email, and a market develops for people to sell their identity to spammers.
That's always been the biggest flaw in the Worldcoin idea in my opinion: if you have a billion+ humans get their eyeball scanned in exchange for some kind of cryptographic identity, you can guarantee that a VERY sizable portion of those billion people will happily sell that cryptographic identity (which they don't understand the value of) to anyone who offers them some money.
As far as I can tell the owner of the original iris can later invalidate an ID that they've sold, but if you buy an ID from someone who isn't strongly technically literate you can probably extract a bunch of value from it anyway.
That's fine, because once someone is banned, the impersonations are also banned.
I mean, that's fine I guess as long as its respectable and respects the forum.
"Claude write a summary of the word doc I wrote about x and post it as a reply comment," is fine. I dont see why it wouldnt be. Its a good faith effort to post.
"Claude, post every 10 seconds to reddit to spam people to believe my politics is correct," isn't but that's not the case. Its not a good faith effort.
The moderation rules for 'human slop' will apply to AI too. Try spamming a well moderated reddit and see how far you get, human or AI.
The problem is speed and quantity. Humans weren't able to fight off the original email spam, it took automated systems. Forums will have to institute much stronger rate limiting and other such measures.
