2. What about the edits they take? Will they count as our edits? Because, if not, then this is the online equivalent of robots taking our jobs. We need those jobs, just as we need the edits, so we can obtain more, and become staff. If bots take a lot of the edits, it will become a lot harder to find pages to really edit and make better for the average user. (don't mistake me for a Trump supporter). At the same time, it is better to mave bots fix errors, because more reliable, faster, and easier. So this is a two-sided problem. 1. Help:Bots page 2. Bots just fix general mistakes. They make such minor edits that it won't affect other people.
