Unfortunately they seem to have already been doing that as well. There was a thread in r/programming before the blackout where people were commenting about the number of other comments that were in opposition to the blackout. The whole thread was filled with people finding that most of them were LLM bots:

What the fuck you guys are blowing my mind with all these links, we‘re already much further along in this than I thought possible. Is anyone or anything even real anymore? Are you a LLM? Say something offensive! (Jk don‘t wanna get you banned)

You know, the funny thing is that might actually work! There are things that LLMs are made to censor that real humans would still be be able to talk about. Granted, most those things would probably get us in trouble or put on a list, so I'm not sure how feasible that would be Maybe a decent idea would be if we could all pick a 'safe-word' out of those things that could be used to tell humans from bots.

This works until they use bots trained on the safe word / phrase
