Through the use of llm's, bots now talk just like the people the llm's are trained off of. They have hobbies, opinions, they will aggressively and convincingly argue that they are not a bot and feel insulted to be called one.
They also cost non-insignificant resources to configure and operate, so how exactly a bot turns into revenue to pay for those resources is up for a lot of conjecture.
I just spotted another article on a similar topic earlier today on hn. It's over six years old, but you may find it relevant. I would imagine the art has changed significantly, and the horror stories have only grown.
For an up-to-date performance comparison of the latest ugrep, please see the ugrep performance benchmarks [at https://github.com/Genivia/ugrep-benchmarks]. Ugrep is faster than GNU grep, Silver Searcher, ack, sift. Ugrep's speed beats ripgrep in most benchmarks.
