If they can’t tell the difference, then it at least makes sense for Reddit to want to invoke greater scrutiny and some level of ‘anti-bot’ testing. I agree the ID thing sounds like a slippery slope, but at least one can say it has some degree of defensible reason.

Altho personally, I’m thinking it would be better to require a bot account to pass certain dynamic tests that couldn’t be easily programmed against. That said, the rise of AI tools probably makes that something of an arms race…
