It's a very reasonable concern. My solution is to have the bot classify what the message is talking about as a first pass, and have a relatively strict filtering about what it responds to.
For example, I have it ignore messages about code freezes, because that's a policy question that probably changes over time, and I have it ignore urgent oncall messages, because the asker there probably wants a quick response from a human.
But there's a lot of questions in the vein of "How do I write a query for {results my service emits}", how does this feature work, where automation can handle a lot (and provide more complete answers than a human can off the top of their head)
OK, but little of that applies to this use case, to "then tell it to update the documentation accordingly."
