Nostr's competitive advantage is creating authentic human connection. I had my first unsolicited AI interaction here on #nostr and choose to immediately block the npub.
I like to utilize AI where it makes sense AS A TOOL.
AI is proliferating in real time extremely fast. AI exhaustion is already reaching a threshold through society. If nostr devs don't get ahead of this and protect the protocol from AI garbage we will lose the best thing about this space.
I would propose either a measure to validate heartbeat for npub creation/activity or classification by the greater community to flag npubs as AI with a profile opt out option. Other suggestions or solutions encouraged.
I would prefer to not have to play whack-a-AI on nostr, so let's get this fixed and create a human only space for connection.
