there are things that bots, by virtue of being bots, cannot be - they cannot be of a particular religion, possess a gender, or have a particular race. They can work for a specific company. They cannot have a personality, but they can exhibit personality traits. Anything that a bot can do and possess I have no difficulty in its being labelled as doing and possessing those things. Otherwise I do have problems, although theoretically a bot could exist as a piece of art and in that case we should forgive these lying claims to qualities they cannot possess by the current standards our society holds for artistic practice.
