I’ve thought of this before, but my best idea is to establish a database, akin to IndieDB, but with strict curation and only external links.
Then the question is in the details of the curation. If I were in charge, I would not allow any contributions from AI whatsoever.
Liars will seep through but they always get caught at some point.

I’m with you on the database solution but did you think of AI that can hack into it and delete everything on it or better yet manipulate the algorithm?
Then the question is in the details of the curation. If I were in charge, I would not allow any contributions from AI whatsoever.
If AI was able to mask their profiles making them seem legit none AI how would you be able to tell?
I don’t believe that it will ever come to this any time soon. but it is a really good debate that if AI was actually smartly advanced to deceive us into believing their actually human and not AI.
I just kind of find that fascinating to ponder.
The likelihood of that happening is slim to none. AI needs to be trained, and training isn’t as magical as you make it sound. Someone must do that training and someone must then run that AI and assume responsibility for everything it does.
I was also thinking that curation would be human-operated, though they can be fooled too, of course.
There are also projects for using AI to spot other AI, like AI-assisted anti-cheat or deepfake detection.
The effort involved in inventing a whole fake profile just to end up on a database, that, in all likelihood, will be very niche - because the rest of the world has no standards - will be just too great to bother with.
We can also demand proof of work, though those details need to be ironed out, too.
