Will they though? Facebook has already created undisclosed bot accounts themselves before. A Platform where real users and such bots are indistinguishable (for the user) sounds like a social media corpos and authoritarian governments wet dream to me. Also reminds me of the attempts to disguise ads as natural content.

Sure but they only want the bots they approve of. That way they can charge for the privilege of allowing someone's preferred bots onto the platform.
