Let's not forget that when we push pilots out of the cockpit, we are not eliminating human error. We are simply replacing the errors of the pilot for the errors of the engineer.

Exactly. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
What amuses me most are the elitist, shining path know-it-alls who puke this twaddle for the supposed benefit of the marginalized masses. Zuckerberg & Musk specifically. Anything but equal in anything they do. Out there hiring just anybody to laser edge their competitive advantages? Chit no. Intensely aware , even at a point where tech capabilities advance to gratify every possible whim as fast as you might dream one up, any hope of further discovery dies the moment everyone is qualified equal simply because they manage to eat and use a toilet. Assuming of course those tasks remain necessary in the utopian Neverland of universal basic income & the 797.
