Lots of bots?

I read this item for Numlock News this morning. 

 iRobot(s)

If you are, for some reason, still on X like I am, you may not find the following revelation very surprising: 76% of X users are bots. More broadly, 50% of all internet traffic comes from "non-human sources." Yes, I knew X's "For You" page was essentially run by guys in moldy basements with computer setups straight out of The Minority Report. But the idea that three out of every four accounts on X is a bot is still mind-numbing. How many times have I argued about LeBron James' legacy with a computer program?

I find it interesting that the authors seem to question the worth of arguing with a computer program.  I find that "arguing" with a computer program is not very different from arguing with a deceased author.  Or questioning a hypothesis proposed by somebody.
