Like a chat bot? If it can actually fool me into thinking I'm debating a real person, it makes me want to engage it even more.
If it's clearly just software, I would just ignore it.
Spamming is an issue however. It's like shouting above everybody when someone else is trying to speak. I would suggest a timer system in that case. For every 5 downvotes, you have to wait until 1 minute to post. Up to a max of 5 minutes.
