How do we prevent bot2bot conversation on lemmy and fediverse? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

As we all know there's surge of LLM-powered comments, ranged from chatgpt-esque style to downright rude comments infesting reddit. It makes the place from unpleasant to extraunpleasant place. The problem I'm worried the most is if they're starting to invade lemmy and friends. Any development to combat this? Like maybe akin to botdefense.

If we find instances infested with bots and unwilling to deal with them, we defederate them. It at least makes it more difficult to mass-infest the network with bots if we have basic things like captcha, email verification, and applications implemented in all the major instances. cough
