we're at a point in AI-driven automation where we've seen rapid progress on the 'easy' parts of many jobs, but we don't know whether this is an exponential trajectory (progress continues to accelerate and the singularity arrive) or a sigmoid/logistic trajectory (progress decelerates and and we have to spend more and more compute/time/money to eke out smaller relative gains).
if we're on the former path, you're right. if we're on the later, there comes a point where continued work in automation isn't cost effective and we keep the humans around to handle all the hard 'edge cases' like urban driving to the final warehouse
