I can almost answer my own question here, I think the recent spammers have been real people, people with a horribly sad job, but still real people. According to IP addresses, nearly all from the same area in China, all using the same ISP, etc... I could be wrong though, it could be bots running from that location, and I started to look at a few CAPTCHA and non-CAPTCHA spam blocking solutions.
