They're frequently mis-classifying people as bots, though, banning us from sites because we use password-keepers & copy/paste those in, e.g.

So, this .. actually ALL .. such statistics are only rough-approximation, now..

    I think you are correct that there are a fair number of people who are accidentally classified as bots, but I think that pales in comparison to the number of bots who are accidentally classified as people. My guess is we passed this threshold quite some time ago and just didn’t notice because bot creators spend a lot of time trying to pretend to be people.
