The key to a lot of bots isn't making them smart so they can grind all day - that is usually the easy bit - but making them dumb so they look like humans.

When I wrote a bot to grind Star Wars Galaxies for me I coded a ton of mistakes into it so it would click on the wrong buttons, miss the buttons completely, just generally do daft stuff. It looked human. Except for the fact it was grinding 24x7. I guess they never checked for that.
