Lemmy bots are most certainly a thing. In fact i run one !news_summary@lemmy.dbzer0.com

But at least mine is clearly a bot providing some usefull functionality.

Changing the meaning of what is being summarized is not useful.

So far there is 1 documented case of it changing meaning of original text from hundreds. Thats a <1% error rate.
