This has already happened in other areas. I'm old enough to remember when customer service people spent all day handling customer problems themselves, which gave them the understanding needed to solve more unusual problems.

These days they do what the computer tells them. Even if they could solve the problem they don't have the agency. They can only select from the options they are given.

In software we still have the agency but we are giving away the understanding. The agency will follow.
