    Lol, AI firms trying to devour the entire internet for training data, discovers that it needs a way to ensure that it doesn’t train on its own output. So it pitches credentials as something to fight AI rather than to mark non-AI data as delicious for ingestion.

    Machine that builds personhood credentials being run by a company that creates fake digital personas? What could go wrong?
