A friend of mine went to a talk by one of the founders of Reddit a while back (5 years maybe) and they talked about how Reddit was initially mostly bots so that they could make it seem more active than it really is. If there were bots that could do that years ago I wouldn't be surprised if they could do much worse things now.
