> Tools for Humanity, which makes eye-scanning devices that capture a person’s biometric data, create a unique identifier for their identity, and store that information on the blockchain.

No thanks. I really don't want my ability to be employed dependent on some bullshit blockchain tech. I imagine that when it inevitably fails to ID someone who it should as human or it screws up the eye-scan that the only support you'll be allowed to talk to will be a useless AI chatbot. Biometrics are terrible passwords, they're certain to be a terrible "human" test too.

> Jessica Eise, an assistant professor studying climate change and social behavior at Indiana University Bloomington, says her research team has been forced to essentially become digital forensics experts due to the amount of fraudsters who respond to ads for paid virtual surveys.

Random internet surveys using unverified self-reported data were always a terrible way to do research. I wouldn't mind if scammers and AI did kill that trend off. Sure, it's very easy to produce a large amount of garbage data and write a paper on it, but ease of writing papers isn't as important as collecting real data.
