I would say that person is clever and resourceful. Usually the task is still manual because of potential gotchas and you'll need a diligent approach to automation to take those into account.

Most lazy people I know will stick to manual action rather than take the time to script it out, mostly due to that initial overhead or having to potentially iterate on the logic due to future unknowns.

No, that would be stupid and lazy. The cumulative effort of pushing the button is far more than the initial overhead and they just can’t realize that because they are too stupid.
