most people hate ai, but the bots on lemmy are an acception since they bring life to the communities when activities dries up. I mean- am I wrong here?thoughts? opinions?

I get that standpoint, if that’s all you get but on this community, you get bots and also real users here that also creat posts, combine the two then factor in the conversations that form in the comments.
By getting a bot to automatically post articles (or worse, comments) you’re decreasing the need/opportunity for human beings to post, which makes the entire website less engaging on an individual level.
Sure there might be more “content”, but less human-to-human interaction. And personally I feel that genuine human-to-human interaction is only going to become more important with the propagation of mediocre AI generated content. Even thinking in terms of “supply and demand”, unlimited bot-created content has very little value compared to increasingly rare human-to-human interaction.
Maybe it’s just me, but I’d rather a sub/mag be totally empty than full of AI-generated bot content, because even though it’s not ideal it at least gives people like you and me the opportunity to meaningfully participate.
