But, wait. Isn't that what we want? It seems like bots and spammers have a relatively small cost to a company like google, while digitizing books and house numbers is relatively valuable. I don't have numbers for a detailed cost-benefit analysis, but if bots get good enough to do time consuming work accurately, that's a win right?
