They’re betting that AI can help to address some of the messiness and toxicity of today’s social media landscape. At the same time, social platforms will need a new set of tools to ensure they’re not taken over by AI bots posing as people.

"We're banking on AI as a competitive advantage but also, here's why it's bad" is quite a business strategy

They will populate the basic sites with bots to garner some "content" just like Reddit did in its early days
