Maybe it can be taken as a request for information about bots already in use 
or in development. A med student wrote a tool for filling out citations, and 
jehochman wrote it into a browser applet. It's botISH, meaning that it 
doesn't write the quote or find which text it is relevant to or submit the 
page. If I read the end of it correctly, they want to assign people to do 
it, first and make programmers, then machines learn from that (which has 
long been just simply logical, just to identify whether it is feasible).

If the sites that the bots access are vetted sources... There are a lot of 
things I do not know about bots, let me tell you that.
