But how do you know that you're talking to a human? This question will become much, much more difficult to answer pretty soon.
These models are capable of generating high quality discussion on a variety of topics. I think the days of human-only text-based forums are numbered, especially as AI model trainers look for high-quality content to train their systems with.

We'll probably come up with a verification and id scheme. It'll be difficult not to make it spoofable of course, and will probably necessarily be rooted in physical f2f and secret information.
Honestly, what you should be more concerned with:
(1) All of us in these convos tend to assume that AI participation will be very widespread, but for that to happen, someone will need to foot the bill for running the compute. That means they will need to find a business model that will afford it, and those business models might be pretty terrible in the short term.
(2) If we head toward pervasive id verification in order to be able to trust, what do people do who require anonymity to evade harm by other humans? How can we open an avenue where we can we still have whistleblowers?

I think AI is going to enable spammers and scammers in ways that we haven't seen before. Once spammers can fully integrate these chatbots into their email systems, it's going to put pressure on email providers to find new ways to detect spam. Thinking in the purely cynical, nefarious case, scammers are going to make fortune robbing people with this stuff.
Maybe this is what will force us to acknowledge and address that using the internet for social interaction isn't scalable from a content moderation standpoint.
