If your bot is actually capable of doing as your say, why waste time forking OSS repos? Why not instruct it to start 1000 new tech startups and start generating you tons of money? I can "think about" winning the lottery with just as much rigor and effect as day dreaming about the kind of all encompassing intelligence you describe.
Maybe it's time to stop being "frightened and amazed" and come back to reality.
Because everyone's bot will be trying to start a business and make money at the same time, hence nobody will make any money.
Now technically if bots actually improve tech the cost of actual products/services will go down Because of competition.
You keep saying 'come back to reality' but drag someone from 200 years ago to today and our reality would be so shocking they may not recover from it.
