Sajuuk, your argument doesn't make any sense. Bots do not in any way promote laziness; they help us do big tasks so that we can concentrate on more important aspects of the wiki... like writing content, uploading images, or answering questions. You have to remember that this is a wiki. People don't just come here to click a million links, they come here because we have information that they need. And the fact of the matter is, we are still missing information. A lot of information. We shouldn't be wasting our time fixing three hundred links by hand every day when we could have a bot do it in five seconds. If we can save time by getting the maintenance tasks done quickly, we can focus our combined efforts on improving the wiki content-wise, which is something we need to do very badly.

It seems to me that you just want to raise your edit count. Why waste hours upon hours fixing links manually when we could get it done by simply typing in a command? And no, we don't absolutely have to use a bot for literally every maintenance task. If we move a page and there are eight links we have to fix, of course we aren't going to use a bot, that would be laziness.

Also, to add on to what Shockstorm said, you are the only one who ever complains about edits flooding the feed. Using bots would stop that almost entirely. I like Cörey's idea a lot, there aren't any real reasons to oppose it.
