The irony of an AI bot being the first reply...
A bot doesn't use an AI or ML, or DL. A bot does what it is programmed for. You don't train it.
This bot uses ML to summarise the article, however.
Does it? The summarization library doc link is broken, but it doesn't mention AI/ML on its page.
I had a look at the github repo. The summarization is being done by a library called Sumy.
After a quick look through it, you're right that it doesn't use machine learning. However, it does use a lot of key concepts from Natural Language Processing, such as Tokenization, which is a subfield of Artificial Intelligence.
You're right, I had a look too and couldn't find much. The Sumy space is hosted on hugging face though, which does ML stuff. But yea can't be sure
You have narrow view of what a bot is.
