it is pretty freaky, LOL. I mean, there are bots all over the internet... we just don't pay attention to it. e.g. all that pharmaceutical spam we get? sent by bots. A bot can send the same Viagra email to every address on a list of 85,000 email addresses in mere minutes... where it would take one human probably weeks, maybe months. Archive.org, for example, crawls the net auto-archiving stuff by bot. Wikipedia vandalism is reversed by bots. There are so many bots, the authors of the PLoS one article can not provide an exhaustive list, and they point out that a 1996 list of all existing Internet bots at that time (published in book form) was 413 pages!
