Bots have been part of the game for a very long time and that part is not likely to change - but you can totally escape bronze :)

I recommend paying attention to what hands are beating you - acquire or rent cards you don’t have from those hands and work to understand why they are winning.

I think there’s some good YouTube videos as well that specifically deal with getting past and through bronze as a new player.

Many thanks yes I watched the video you recommended and a few others. I found some suggestions for fire cards to rent and I'm playing those at present. Just waiting for my CR to pick back up before playing again today.
