Great breakdown of how Amazon tackles the bot problem in online advertising. Your jargon-free analysis really helps us understand the complexities of AI research.

As a bot programmer, these security measures and analysis that you mention in the article seem pretty basic and well known to me.

On the other hand, publishing a guide that talks in detail about the security measures to stop bots, usually makes it easier to evade those security measures.

The AI is going to greatly improve anti-spam measures, but at the same time it is going to give the bots superpowers. It is going to be a very difficult fight where the means of physical identification (phones, IDs, iris analysis, credit cards or real purchases) will continue to be the only way to guarantee that a user is real.
