I'm completely convinced existing AI could replace my job with perfect satisfaction. The only reason it hasn't is the cost of the custom software is more expensive than the salaries of a few niche employees. I would bet that twenty five years from now, there will be half as many engineers doing what I do. They'll mostly be baby sitting the automation and interpreting results for other humans that have an interest. Twenty five years after that, both the engineers and the people who wanted to hear the results from a human and not a computer will be gone. And it will be the money that drives each change.
