Statistically maybe.
In terms of maintenance, absolutely.
But in terms of starting articles and updating them plus meaningful edits that only human intelligence can do, the bots can't claim that.
Bot edits may form the majority statistically. But the story and topical edits that shape articles, is a human thing.

Tell them Sandister, I love journalists trained by Brits, far better than those trained by the Yankees.
More respects to actual human editors by the way...
