They talk about how a lot of the problem is all these bot requests hitting cold pages and especially multimedia that are not cached because they are rarely accessed. So I don't think it is likely that this activity is in direct response to user queries. I don't know why using an LLM would make people any more interested in very boring and obscure geographic and historical trivia than they would be via search engines.
