I’m pretty sure they’re people, but people doing repetitive cut & paste. Some of them have made more personal responses (eg. the ones quoted in this post, and a subsequent one). Some of those people may use bots, but it looks also like there’s a “community” of people at clickbank manually doing spam, precisely so that they can get around the word jumble.

Have you performed a turing test on them? These look to be just more advanced “bots”. The ones you quoted are very obviously using automation which would be foiled by word jumble.

They’re not bots. They’re people.

Poor advice – I don’t understand why you don’t use a “bot” filter. The only inconvenience is to have to read and type a word jumble every time to comment. Blogger has one. Doesn’t WordPress?

Clever. Must get in on this :)

Also, good advice. Friends and relatives only. Gotcha.
