Also, the “bot”/“human” distinction doesn’t have to be binary. Say one has an account that mostly has a bot post generated text, but then if it receives a message, hands it off to a human to handle. Or has a certain percentage of content be human-crafted. That may potentially defeat a lot of approaches for detecting a bot.
