"Personhood credentials" to prove you're real... because of A.I.

[FlyingClayDisk]

There are sophisticated Captcha challenges that might still defeat AI. I've seen some that require seeing relationships between disparate things. I wonder if AI could fool a human into giving them a Captcha solution?

You can already upload a random photo (in numerous file formats) to Google and it will go out and find similar photos, so image recognition is already there.  And that's not even AI.  You can already ask openAI to generate a dog walking a human on a leash, pick the dog type and the human characteristics, and it will generate a full length video of exactly that.  So, I don't know what kind of relationships between disparate things you could use to fool it.  (and by 'fool it', I mean make it unable to do something only a human could).

Plus, today most of the AI we've all been exposed to so far is "narrow" AI.  "General" AI is a far scarier prospect.  And there's "super" AI on the horizon now too.  And here's the thing, narrow AI is generally subject based.  General AI isn't.  But now they have narrow AI machines crunching down things where the subject is "General AI".  So, while the creator is only narrow AI, it can create something which is capable of general AI.  This has closed the developmental path from years to months (or even days in some cases).  Once we get to general AI boxes working on super AI "they/it" may ignore human inputs altogether.

edit - Back in the '80's people used to scoff at concepts like "Skynet" from the Terminator movie franchise.  Now it's almost a reality, and it's everywhere.  We're already hearing about AI being used on the battlefield by militaries around the globe.  How long will it be before AI realizes who the real problem is (i.e. people) and starts to eliminate them?
