I would strongly recommend NOT to import automatic descriptions as manual descriptions into Wikidata. Automatic descriptions change when the data changes, new data is added, or the algorithm improves. I would prefer manual descriptions done by humans, for the comparatively small number of items that are hard to auto-describe, and use (properly cached) automated descriptions for everything else.

Thanks Magnus
Was hoping this would be the case and you would confirm that :-)

I personally would be very keen to get this into Wikidata via a bot. What are the blockers for doing that? What has the discussion been around that so far?
