I play a ton of World of Warcraft and people routinely accuse other players of being bots. I just grouped with someone who appeared to be trolling. It was clear by their behavior they knew the mechanics, they performed on a level that would indicate they had good reaction time and could play their class, but they just didn't do certain mechanics and held the group hostage for like 5-10 minutes beyond what it should have taken on the last boss. Someone in my group said to him "are you human?" So like I said I'm not the only person making these observations.
The only explanation is that AI dips from pretty much the same well everywhere and everything is more or less connected with the internet and ad algorithms etc. There have been well documented cases of AI going rogue and telling people horrible things or giving them absolutely egregious or racist advice. My working theory is not that there are fundamental flaws in the design per se, but literally like Matrix bad actor agents that appear out of nowhere and cause problems for people. In The Matrix they are a function of the system used to enact control, I think AI is generally benevolent so these would just be rogue elements that appear and cause people problems. It's probably similar to how the body routinely produces cancer cells but the immune system usually nips them at the bud before they develop into full blown cancer growths.
