The use of autonomous bots for automatic support in software developmenttasks is increasing. In the past, however, they were not always perceivedpositively and sometimes experienced a negative bias compared to their humancounterparts. We conducted a qualitative study in which we deployed anautonomous refactoring bot for 41 days in a student software developmentproject. In between and at the end, we conducted semi-structured interviews tofind out how developers perceive the bot and whether they are more or lesscritical when reviewing the contributions of a bot compared to humancontributions. Our findings show that the bot was perceived as a useful andunobtrusive contributor, and developers were no more critical of it than theywere about their human colleagues, but only a few team members felt responsiblefor the bot.
