Some of them we probably also live streaming their reactions to the game. And some were working. And I'll bet more than a few were doom scrolling. Or playing Pokemon. Or arguing politics online (possibly with bots, but not knowingly). Or doing one of the 50000 things that I haven't heard of.
Reminds me of the poorly coached American football team I saw that gave up 150 yards in penalties and got “offsides” so many times I thought it was the other kind of football.

Are they chatting with chatbots or betting on sports?
Bingo.

Some of them were probably using an LLM as a fancy search engine to look up the rules of baseball.
The Red Sox/Blue Jays game recently when the “fourth out” rule came into play probably could have used an LLM explanation.

They could even be asking chatbots about how to bet.
