Digg's founders explain how they're building a site for humans in the AI era | TechCrunch (techcrunch.com)

“We are going to live in a world where the vast, vast majority of the content we’re seeing is in … some shape or form, AI-generated, and it is a terrible user experience if the reason you’re coming to a place is for authentic human connection, and it’s not with humans — or it’s with people masquerading as humans,” Ohanian said.

He explained that there are a number of ways that social sites could test to see if someone is a person. For instance, if someone has owned their device for a longer period of time, that could add more weight to their comment, he suggested.

Rose said that the site could also offer different levels of service, based on how likely someone was to be human.

I'm not sure how I missed the announcement of the Digg reboot, but I'll certainly be glad to see its return. Sounds like they're going to manage the bots instead of trying to ban them altogether. This is probably a practical approach because they'll likely never be able to exclude all bots...unless they adopt a pure subscription model.
