Why do I keep seeing articles saying that the bot activity dropped, then other articles saying “actually it didn’t drop”, and now more articles saying it dropped again?

I got fed up and unsubscribed from communities like asklemmy just yesterday, because it was constantly just stupid topics. In a lot of cases the title would propose a question and the body of the message would already have a multiple paragraph long answer.

I’m pretty sure AI is objectively smarter today than it was 5 years ago.
