And we might start digitally signing our stuff and we might all end up having basically some solution for proof of personhood.

It doesn't seem to me intractable.

It's just something that we haven't had to do until now.

But I think once the need really starts to emerge, which is soon, I think people will think about it much more.

Probably.

Yeah, maybe you have to start declaring when, you know, we have to start drawing those boundaries and keeping track of, okay, what are digital entities versus human entities?

And what is the ownership of human entities and digital entities and something like that?

I don't know, but I think I'm optimistic that this is possible.

And in some sense, we're currently in the worst time of it because all these bots suddenly have become very capable, but we don't have the fences yet built up as a society.

But I think that doesn't seem to me intractable.

It's just something that...

My impression of it, honestly, is there's a lot of low-hanging fruit.

I mean, it's not subtle.

I mean, definitely there's a lot of lying fruit, but I will say I agree that if you are a sophisticated actor, you could probably create a pretty good bot right now using tools like GPTs, because it's a language model.

You can generate faces that look quite good now.

and you can do this at scale.

And so I think, yeah, it's quite plausible, and it's going to be hard to defend.

Yeah.

To me, it's a little bit of a canary in a coal mine kind of moment, honestly, a little bit.

So this engineer spoke to a chatbot at Google and became convinced that this bot is sentient.
