Similar CV, similar take. My guess? Anyone involved in automation for >2 years at the enterprise levels knows in their gut all the silent, sudden, annoying ways automation can fail and so has a higher internal bar for "must save this much time to be worth automating."

That said, old beliefs should be challenged by new technological capabilities!

If LLM based automation is (a) less fragile and (b) quicker to develop, then that bar should be lowered.
