Sorry what’s all the “bots” about?
bots are AI scripts of sorts that make erroneous post's on forums. Sometimes they partake in the conversation to some degree and try to post things and or reference other websites as advertising.
But all bots scavenge and report as much info as they can about the people posting on the site. They can navigate user profiles and log info for hackers, advertising and other purposes. Bots started off originally as just scavengers that "lurked" about sites recording info. They have graduated to programs that because of AI generators, can take part in conversations. Take a look at post #72, thats a bot posting.
