For sure, thus why I said it’s a pipe dream. We can dream though, maybe we will figure out some kind of solution one day.
I maybe could have worded my comment better, people definitely should not actually assume they are talking to real people all the time (I don’t). But there should ideally be a place for people-focused conversation and forums were originally designed for that purpose.
The research in the OP is a good first step in figuring out how to solve the problem.
That’s in addition to anti-bot measures. I’ve seen some sites that require you to solve a cryptographic hashing problem before accessing. It doesn’t slow a regular person down, but it does require anyone running a bot to provide a much larger amount of compute power to each bot which increases the cost to the operator.
