They hate dull, repetitive, work-they'll do it for a while if they have to, but not for long. The silliest thing for a human to do, in their mind, is to pound on a keyboard when they're surrounded by computers. They have a clear notion of how error-prone manual testing is, and in order to improve the quality of their own work, they'll find ways to eliminate all such error-prone procedures. Excellent testers re-invent the capture/playback tool many times. Dozens of home-brew test data generators. Excellent test design automation done with nothing more than a word processor, or earlier, with a copy machine and lots of bottles of white-out.
