I don’t think psudonyms are an issue, but verifying that a user is an actual person vs an AI chatbot is absolutely something that every popular social media platform will need to tackle at some point.
The bot problem has been around since before Sam Altman was old enough to legally drink. For example in the early days the founders of Reddit were running bots to make the site look wayyy busier than it actually was in order to attract new users.
He’s a convenient bogey-man, and a huge asshole, but he’s the not the source of this problem.
Will they though? Facebook has already created undisclosed bot accounts themselves before. A Platform where real users and such bots are indistinguishable (for the user) sounds like a social media corpos and authoritarian governments wet dream to me. Also reminds me of the attempts to disguise ads as natural content.

Hmm funny how Sam Altman is one of the few people responsible for creating that problem and now he’s selling the solution to it
He’s a modern day arms dealer.

Why? Internet rules from the days gone by - everyone is a liar. So it shouldn’t matter.
