I wonder how the servers can detect that it's a bot
It's very easy. Every real user sends a "header" to the server. To take a look at yours, check this out:

If it's a legit bot, then you will see the name of the bot. If it's a bad bot, then you will see weird stuff, it will be emtpy or it will look legit and only a security expert will be able to understand it. Also if it's a real user, then usually javascript will be enabled. Bots usually don't have javascript enabled.
In the future javascript probably won't be an issue for most bots.
