# Good conversation happening in my Bots post

I know it’s the weekend and not the ideal time for a blog conversation, but there’s a great one happening in the comments of my recent post **[On Bots and Content Creation / Aggregation](https://web.archive.org/web/20060508064106/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/002776.php)**. I’d like to get more points of view on this discussion, which is focused on the moral aspects of automatically-generated websites. I have strong views on it, as does Don Harrold from [Article Bot](https://web.archive.org/web/20060508064106/http://www.articlebot.com/). Why not [jump in and add your opinion](https://web.archive.org/web/20060508064106/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/002776.php)? To me, this is a crucial issue in an era of ever-increasing automation of websites and blogs.
