Alternatively, we could figure out how to automate his job away.

  That's exactly the point. If you can figure out how to automate the job come back with a solution. But until then give them respect. They do difficult that can't be automated so far.

    Depends. We already automated big parts of the job that we could. To give a stupid example I came up with in five seconds: nobody needs to draw pictures of finds anymore, we can just use cameras.

      Yes, the parts that can be automated now are already automated. But the parts that are left are hard to automate and not glamorous.

      I met a guy who used to work for the forest service around where I live. His job was to head to surveyed forestry sites (i.e. potential future logging camps and what not) and draw pictures of all the archaeological artifacts. He was eventually replaced by a camera.
