Don't think it of it as the machine performing repetitive tasks you specify. Think of it instead as the machine accomplishing goals you specify, figuring out on its own the tasks necessary for accomplishing them. Instead of telling the machine something like, say, "increase the left margin by a quarter inch," you'd say something like "I want to create a brochure for this new product idea I just had, and I want the brochure to evoke the difficult-to-describe feeling of a beautiful sunshine. Create 10 brochures like that so I can review them." Instead of telling the machine, say, "add a new column to my spreadsheet between columns C and D," you'd say something like "Attached are three vendor proposals. Please summarize their pros and cons in a spreadsheet, recommend one, and summarize the reasons for your recommendation." All this presumes, of course, that the technology continues to improve at the same pace. No one knows if that will happen.
