As well as finding out where this has happened, it would be good to
have some cases of where "bots went bad" explained. My main concern
would be leaving a bot to create thousands of articles but in the
process creating a headache for limited numbers of maintainers, such
as article copy-editors, categorizers, illustrators, inter-linkers or
gnomic contributors.

For bot-writers like myself, there may be some common patterns to
learn from of which projects this sort of mass creation might be
useful and how to assess a project of this type for potential value
(we might want to fund some volunteer proposed projects along these
lines if they can be measured as effective and with valuable
outcomes).
