Using AI and machine learning is a thing done even now, how do you think all the "election results have been called for Biden" notices get added on Twitter, or how is YouTube automatically recognizing copyrighted stuff?
It is all matter of training it and scaling it up, so they can do close to 100% of moderation automatically and in real time.
Small sites do not have that option, as running such extensive machine learning network is very resource demanding, even if you somehow manage to obtain a fully trained system that is ready to go (and you can bet the monopoly of Big Tech will gladly share theirs among themselves)
And frankly, even though I am not living in US, I do want US to keep being the tech dominant, because it is the only place where free speech and in more wider sense, freedom, is guaranteed (other countries are very much "well, yes, but actually no" about that)
Big tech does not care.
