Range of ELO accuracy in bots?

I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, I just couldn't find anything that didn't just raise more questions in my head. I've recently just picked up playing chess "for real" ever since learning how the pieces move when I was a kid, meaning I'm VERY bad at playing. The last weeks or so I've been playing some of the bots, increasing in difficulty as I get comfortable beating the same bot over and over again. I got the hang of it quite quickly and managed to get through the sub-1000-elo bots in a short period of time, only starting to feel the challenge at Emir and Nelson, 1000 and 1300 elo respectively. Today I was just playing as per usual and beat Nelson. I was proud, and continued playing him, beating him more times. Keep in mind, I had to play all the bots MULTIPLE times up until this point. After beating Nelson enough I kept going for the harder bots and proceeded to beat every single bot from 1500 to 2300 on the first try? Feeling the need to humble myself I started a game against a 2900 elo engine and won that one in one try aswell? Sorry if I rambled, I just felt like I wanted to know how much of a difference in elo playing against the bots are compared to your actual elo. Thank you!

Yup, the rating does seem a bit erratic to say the least. I started playing some of the streamer-inspired bots for a bit of a change, and some of the medium to higher rated bots do seem to make really random moves and give up pieces for no apparent reason... :thinker

Looking at your recent games, it is hard to believe that you beat such high rated bots. There are inaccuracies with the bots' ratings, but 2300/2900 rated bots do play at even professionally competitive levels.

At the lower ratings the bots can be 100s of points off. I was beating emir a 1000 rated bot when I was rated only 5-600 rapid.
