First, the bad news: as a general rule, what can be automated, will eventually be automated. Now, for the really bad news – with each passing day armies of chatbots take another hill, and no matter how well fortified you may think you are, it’s just a matter of time.  You can fight it, but you may want to start preparing for the career equivalent of the classic stages of grief: from bargaining to grudging acceptance…in other words, perfect fodder for the kind of black comedy this pod specializes in.
