Yes, hard to see how LLM agents won't destroy all online spaces unless they all go behind closed doors with some kind of physical verification of human-ness (like needing a real-world meetup with another member or something before being admitted).

Even if 99.999% of the population deploy them responsibly, it only takes a handful of trolls (or well-meaning but very misguided people) to flood every comment section, forum, open source project, etc. with far more crap than any maintainer can ever handle...

I guess I can be glad I got to experience a bit more than 20 years of the pre-LLM internet, but damn it's sad thinking about where things are going to go now.
