I don't know how much I would trust a flight without a pilot, but the fact is, they've been using autopilot for years, and it only gets progressively more sophisticated. So I wonder how far they are from being a 'basic' job at this point, and how long it will take before it becomes a basic job.

It's an oversimplification, but pilots aren't that far removed from being bus drivers or train conductors. (Okay, they're maybe 30,000 feet removed, but you get the point. LOL) Strip away the complex systems in a ****pit (which autopilot systems are progressing towards) and all you have a passenger vehicle. A Greyhound with wings.

As for medical diagnosis, it's basically an IF-THEN program, as complex as it is. Check the symptoms, crosscheck against other conditions, and you get a diagnosis. WebMD has shown how wide a diagnosis it can be, but that's in essence what doctors do (that and shill for Big Pharma :P). I can easily picture a future where all the medical rules are encoded and able to be applied - especially as a triage tool for health care front lines. Though I don't see actual doctors being replaced - just freed up from the 'basic' parts of their jobs to focus on treatments.
