#Reddit will require "fishy" accounts to verify they are run by a #human
The #verification process aims to combat unwanted #bots from flooding Reddit at a time when #AI bots are poised to take over the Internet.
“As AI becomes a bigger part of the Internet, we want to make sure that when you’re on Reddit, you know when you’re talking to a person and when you’re not,” Huffman said.
