Comments created by bots have existed for years.
Before AI was the new hotness, hyperbolic tech tabloid The Register used to (it may still? I only ever read the BOFH articles) have a frequent commentor called 'a man from mars' who was quite clearly a bot of some description outputting semi-coherent nonsense based on the content of the articles and other comments.
