I was replying to "how much of 'things that actually matter like pathophysiology and pharmacology' can be factored out into the automation land"

I'd argue they aren't being factored into automation land if they're still the responsibility of a human expert, even if there are fewer more productive human experts.

(Though I do think AI will have a role in pathophysiology and pharmacology, initially catching errors, and probably some day taking responsibility, but not soon.)
