I just beat the 1500 bot and I am level 400. Them I play against someone that is 600 and I get my butt beat. So why do that not lineup. This is really confusing because you are playing bots and you are like yay I just beat the bot that is level 1000 then you go play a player that is 700 and you get demolished. Why do they not lineup!!!

Players at any given rating can have that level for a lot of different reasons. Opening knowledge, tactical awareness, endgame knowledge, positional knowledge, calculation ability, nerves/anxiety, etc.

It's hard to make an engine, designed to play the best moves, to play at a specific level, especially as that can mean different things. The device the engine runs on can also cause engines to play better or worse.

Real ratings shift all the time.
Bot ratings are rough outdated estimates

Bots under 3000 Elo are programmed to randomly play stupid moves. A higher Elo just merely reduces the chance of a stupid move and (usually) makes the "stupid" moves more subtle, but still.

You can program a chess bot to blunder. You can't program a human unless you're a supervillain in a movie that takes place in the 27th century or something like that.
