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).
