with this happening why cant someone make scripts to auto ID these bots on all the social medias so end users know they are bots.

They easily could. Do you not remember when X / Twitter did this and walked it back immediately once it was clear their platform was mostly bot and foreign influencing parading as American?

Twitter / X has been bots talking to bots for a long time. Practically, a useless site.
