The "bot" thing was a joke you didn't get...

...shame on me for not being more obvious.
"Have" and "will" are not as different as you seem to believe. The Russian bot software could (and I suspect does-w/o proof) contain the capability of doing simple math and other "pseudo human" things but it's not "turned on". IOW, capability exists but isn't enabled. All it takes is the flip of a digital switch and it's running. Performing simple middle school grade symbolic math should be easy considering those captcha things can be decoded by the better bot software nowadays. Sadly, middle school math would probably baffle a large percentage of the adult US population if presented to them with no calculator handy. And many seem proud of this lack of a simple and onetime vital skill set.
The overall point is that much of western culture and American culture in particular currently seems to celebrate ignorance, stupidity and general lack of education inc math and the concept of "critical thinking" / skepticism. Evidence of this exists in the daily news cycle and other recent events but further discussion of this would breach forbidden subject matters and result in dippappearing posts. So all this remsins IMO, of course. And you are entitled to yours.
