Essentially the standard is saying that anything attempting to connect to the web must provide an attestation that it's representing a human.

Mozilla opposes it because it's another barrier for new tools to implement, and there is no evidence that bots wouldn't just say 'yeah, I'm a human!'

So no benefit, and more barriers

    If it wouldn't be good at proving users are human, there are probably other motives at work, like putting Google in charge of approving or blocking every piece of web content and every browser for viewing it, and removing the user's control over how the content is presented.
