Humans have shown we don't choose the best option, especially when these mechanisms will slow down other goals.
> that keep out the slop
The slop was here before, it was just human product. Now we have way more slop. I don't think we've ever been good at controlling slop/spam/junk online and can't see how this AI situation is any easier to regulate.
