LLMs have benefits, but it's a real negative that you can no longer be sure if you are communicating with a human on the internet or reading something which was written by a human.

It seems like public keys and web of trust are the future in terms of knowing that there is a human on the other end of the internet.

But, I don't know what happens when a cloud of LLMs get their own public keys signed by some humans.

In many cases, you can still tell when an article was written by an LLM, but I think that window is closing fast.

Even if you are reading something written by a human on the internet that's still no guarantee of trustworthiness.

In some senses it already has, though not always how you meant: I was once accused of using ChatGPT to write a Reddit comment that I genuinely wrote myself without AI assistance.

(I think the person disliked the substance of what I was arguing, the length of my comment, or both.)

What would public keys solve? We already have these with domains and SSL certificates. Many messaging apps also support keys.
