> But isn't the next step where your employer tasks you to codify all these tasks and capture your "process" and "reasoning" and then you can still walk on the beach all you want but you won't have work to do

No, the next step is the employer to ask "why are you walking on a beach when you could be working?" and won't accept the answer that they are just orchestrating agents.

The only part the employer will focus on is "walking on a beach" and think "I don't pay you to walk on a beach."

(Caveat: OP might be running their own business. That's different. Also makes me rethink my life choices a bit).
