Sure, that's misleading. But that means we shouldn't trust it, and should act accordingly.

Moreover, it's ridiculous IMO to say "bots have run amok and we can't control them, so we should get more bots." It's the 21st-century equivalent of bringing some new species to an area to control an old one, and we've seen how well that works.
