@jerry My strategy: Webfeeds, & being more strategic about my search engine use. Knowing SearchMySite, DDG, Stract, & Wikipedia's strengths & weaknesses.
It's serving me well for now!

@jerry Everyone will be assigned a topic via lottery. You will be required to curate a short list of URLs that are NI-produced resources for it. Moderation and metamoderation will produce an attestation network, such that to search, you ask everyone you know "Hey, does anyone know how to do dovetail joints?" and tag it with carpentry woodworking dovetail. Then it finds your grandpa's ham radio buddy who is also a cabinetmaker, who calls you up on the phone.
...Okay, maybe that won't work.

Who wouldn't want a web where everything is confidently wrong?
Google Classic: Here's the result based on a unit conversion formula.
New Google: Here's a statement that we believe sounds plausible.
Progress!

I know it's tongue in cheek.
Detecting AI is an interesting problem.
So far all the "detect AI" systems are appallingly bad and some likely use AI to do that (!).
Even assuming you can determine #AI algorithmically, with no need for AI. AI engines would just use the algorithm NOT to look like AI.
Back in the day when the status of AI was not clarified in academia (it became permitted in my course). I would ask the engine to introduce punctuation, capitalisation and 3 spelling errors per page and use vernacular English.

@hacks4pancakes @jerry I've been seeing such a flood of AI crap, and so many posts which really look like AI training queries.
But you adding the Voight Kampf test just makes it hit the anxiety harder.
@jerry In 1992 a coin was termed by the PGP creator himself, Phill Zimmerman: web of trust.
Make public PGP signature based identities cool again? Create robust networks of trust where users sign each others keys. There are levels of trust, the most of which being somebody you personal know and have signed (ideally IN PERSON).
We build out networks of good faith actors. And when some actors are deemed malicious, democratically from a strong network, the network can dispel them. Or lower trust.
Neal Stephenson predicted this in Termination Shock. He also predicted some folks being able to curate versus not, and extrapolated those effects on society.
It was not an optimistic book.
