Sure. There isn't anything watertight... But we have Captchas, human moderators, report buttons... Email tries to tackle it with spamfilters... I suppose forcing AI providers to watermark AI generated text would be quite effective against those kinds of bots... There's a few ideas out there. Unfortunately there's also lots of bot activity out there.
