It’s not authenticating humans, though— just sanctioned software and hardware.

There’s no reason you couldn’t hook a bot up, via video feed and inputs, to an “attestable” device and have it use the Internet that way. This just raises the bar on bot sophistication.

In another thread somebody talked about pointing a camera at a phone and using a robot “finger” to interact with it. If anything WEI would make that easier because you’re not getting CAPTCHAs anymore! You’re a “human”, after all.

This is also how sophisticated game cheating systems work[1]. No amount of rootkit-like anti-cheat will help when you're cheating with a capture card and emulated mouse and keyboard.
