Well I mean - I don’t think it’s so much that you’re needed to hit “enter” - anybody who’s used an agent on full auto has already experienced that lack of need.

What is needed is a human at the beginning, to decide what needs to be done - and a human at the end, to decide whether it’s finished.

For a while at least, specialized knowledge will be a huge asset, if not necessarily strictly necessary, for the beginning and end.

Possibly even that might pass away - but I m a little more skeptical there, because a fully automated proceeds of choosing what to work on is really a whole different world altogether. It’s not just one where humans aren’t required to do menial tasks, it’s one where humanity isn’t required period - at which case, what’s the point of any of this.

I don’t see us getting to that point within my lifetime.
