Social networks are traditionally thought of as a way for people to interact with each other. It changes the dynamic when a service intentionally allows non-humans to have accounts (which seems like a good thing). The question is can bots, in general, be used for a productive purpose that adds value to the ecosystem. (fake followers, being the biggest use case thus far, don't really add value to the ecosystem as whole).
