Ok so my view on bots is the same as my view on kids or dogs. You can have them, they're handy to have. For instance I got tired of mowin the grass all the time so I had a few myself. (kids not dogs or bots). But you do need to be responsible for them, keep them safe and stop them from annoying the neighbors.
Just like kids and pets, bots require proper training. So I'm going to recommend we start a bot registry and I'm going to run an idea by the devs to actually give bots that are useful a bit more leeway and a tool for squelching or muzzling a bot gone bad, perhaps with actual financial consequences for it's owner/parent.
As for commissioned art I'm not exactly sure yet what I need but I plan to create a site specifically about building bots for steem and the first thing that popped into my head was "yep, there's my logo".
I'm also building another site to compile short stories and longer reading works published on steemit into a tablet and ereader friendly format. Going to need artwork for that as well.
