    Reminds me of using graphing calculators back in highschool. “Can we use it on the test?” “Sure! But remember, it will only help you if you know how to check your work and bother to do so.” Automating anything blindly carries the risk of unending buckets of water or a universe of paperclips. Trouble is, it seems like a fair number of folks are confusing automation with delegation.
