    Just curious as if anyone else has seen that in the people active right now. It said 191 robots. What's the purpose of that and am I maybe talking to a robot when I think it's a person? : (

    The robots are things from Google etc, that read pages to add them to the search index when people search things on Google:slight_smile: No real risk of chatting to someone and it's actually AI lol :slight_smile:

    Additionally, it's worth knowing that the number of folks that lurk on EC (read threads but have never joined or posted) are at least 30:1 and sometimes much higher.
