Bot no like picture
In the last couple of months a different type of bot has been "reading" this blog. Usually bots don't show up as specific views of items. These bots are "reading" items, but they are mechanically selective. They "read" only the items that don't include a picture. The pattern is clear and consistent in this blogspot table. Most of the bots have a .best suffix with various random words in front, like multilingual.best and cozenage.best.
What will they do with this item, which includes a picture of their activity? Will they suffer the AI version of cognitive dissonance?
Update: This item was almost immediately "read" by something or somebody. So either (1) my hypothesis is wrong or (2) the item was read by a human, not by these bots.
