# Human proof for FOSS contributions

**[Lobsters](https://daily.dev/sources/lobsters)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A developer working on the Dillo browser project proposes using asciinema terminal recordings as a lightweight proof-of-humanity mechanism for FOSS patch submissions. The idea leverages the fact that human coding sessions contain natural mistakes, typos, and exploratory behavior that LLMs currently struggle to convincingly replicate. The approach has limitations — it only works for terminal editors and raises privacy concerns — but offers asymmetric complexity: easy for humans to produce, hard for LLMs to fake convincingly. The author also notes a double-edged risk: sharing recordings publicly could eventually help LLMs learn to mimic human coding behavior.
