When you're looking at effects, I think you need to dig down into what exactly is being extended.
Are more data sources being made available? Is data being preprocessed? Is an initial task being automated?
Because the truth of any worker (in less than a ruthlessly specialized huge company) is that they may be an "extended cognition" worker, but still perform many "non-extended cognition" activities as part of their job. Because there was previously no alternative and work needs to get done.
Fast forward that, and you're never going to fully automate a goal. But you will automate sections of the process that are amenable to machines.
Advice? Recognize which type of work you spend most of your time in, and don't get caught being the "non-extended cognition" person...
