User criticizes Warmbadge AI verification for lack of data, flawed logic

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on Mastodon expressed frustration with the Warmbadge service, which claims to verify human users but provided an assurance score for their website without any data. The user found that Warmbadge failed to scan their site, yet still assigned a score, while incorrectly identifying an AI bot as more human than their own site. This experience led the user to criticize the current internet's monetization strategies and consider using older, less commercialized protocols like Gopher. AI
