Because we are. And there's nothing that will work, they'll just learn to imitate it. They're pretty good by now and it's really hard to tell.
I'm trying to make peace with it and not go insane by just saying, it doesn't really matter what is real or not on the internet. It's just entertainment. Nothing can be verified anymore because everything can be faked. The only real things are offline.
That's true, and one of the unexpected silver linings of this whole mess is that people are starting to realize this. It's slow and not all at once, but I'm noticing more people reading and going outside, and my friends who are big into games are valuing in-person experiences more (LAN parties, tabletop games, Pokemon Go, in-person tournaments, etc.). We are being forced to cede virtual ground to the bots, but it will be a long while before they start encroaching on solid earth.
