Have you realized that when you play against a bot (for example Janjay) and compare it to a human with the same rating only to find out humans with the same rating is stronger? What’s going on here?

It’s because the bots rating is inflated o can beat Janjay pretty easily and I’m 290 rated

It's really hard to get an engine that is designed to find the best moves to play accurately at a lower strength, especially some arbitrary rating.

Add to that, players at the same rating level may have different reasons for their rating. Some may be good/bad in openings, middlegames, or endgames. Some may be good/bad at tactics, positional play, or time management.

Bots at lower ratings intentionally blunder or play suboptimal moves to stay within their set rating.

Same I have beaten a 1800 level bot but i definitely can not beat a 1800 player in chess

This has been realized for a long time now.

This is just speculation:

Chess Bots have less possible moves options compared to player pool.

Because of this, it is easier to become familiar to their gameplay the more you play against them.

This leads to an increase of win rate percentage.

No problem

I'd say bots in chess.com are way easier; and their ELO isn't really accurate.
