There’s no stopping technology. It marches on. But computer engineers and doctors are paid top dollar because they have a skill set to accomplish what can’t be accomplished by the average person.
Anyone who doesn’t see the relationship between airplanes that won’t need skilled operators and the inevitable nose-dive in pilot compensation is a fool.
It’s going to happen eventually. I see no reason to be gleeful about it, just because you get to “fly” a shiny jet in the meantime.
