I wonder if part of the solution is for us to start designing the Internet for bots. We're entering a phase where websites are coded by bots, content of all stripes (text/video/audio/images) is generated by bots, and increasingly that fact doesn't necessarily mean that we want to block it.
The main tenets of apps that are resilient to bot spam are 1) scalability, so that they can handle huge quantities of traffic and bot-generated content, and 2) the ability to differentiate high quality from low quality content (regardless of whether it was created by a human). Ironically, AI is probably the solution to the second problem.
