Would you let a community bot control a wallet?

Bots are getting to the point where they can do a lot more than moderate chats or post alerts. They can potentially execute trades, distribute rewards, manage memberships, interact with contracts, etc.

But once a bot can actually move money, the trust model changes completely.

How much authority would you realistically give one?

Would you be comfortable with a bot having a dedicated wallet if it had strict permissions and spending limits? Maybe it can interact with specific contracts but can't send funds anywhere else.

Or would you still want a human approval step for every transaction?

The part I keep coming back to is what happens if the bot itself gets compromised. Even with limited permissions, an attacker could potentially do a lot of damage within whatever boundaries you've given it.

Curious where people would draw the line.
