I have no issue at all with utility bots (AutoMod-style assistants, summarizers, unit conversion aids, RemindMe!, etc.) and honestly, novelty comment bots don’t bother me much either as long as they’re not drowning out actual conversation. I’m less tolerant of bots posting links and content, though.

the unit conversion bot was a nice QoL feature on the technical subs I tended to hang out on.

Shitty Unit Conversion Bot was good for a laugh too.
