That's just too many guests to be any sort of coincidence. But how are there so many AI bots out there?

I'm not sure how the site measures the number of "guests", if it has to be someone sitting on the page itself to count, or if simply cURLing a random forum thread is enough to register a blip.
But my guess would be a single AI might be multi-threading the process and having hundreds of different sessions to try to crawl/scrape the site as efficiently as possible. As noted, AI DGAF about the load it puts on the target site. It just gobbles it up like a hungry, hungry caterpillar.
