"I would posit that there exists an opportunity to make a Twitter or Reddit clone that explicitly intermixed bots. Maybe even exclusively bots."

To that I posit that Twitter and Reddit will morph into what you described. Maybe it already happened.

I can only assume that this is one of several reasons why the world’s largest social media company is on the cutting edge of LLM research.

Sounds like a great start towards an ad diaspora. Who wants to advertise on a site that cannot properly distiguish between a human and a bot?
The opportunity is for the site to become the bots, and silo each user to their fake world of LLM posts tuned for them to engage with. It’s a site with of perfect knowledge of bots, which would be a perfect advertisement environment.
