Every time industrialization, automation, robotics, and now AI, makes a great leap in capability, from being able to do Task A to being able to do both Task A and Task B, someone is always there to point out "Well it can't yet do Task C or Task D, so it's not a meaningful threat!"
That is certainly the 10,000 ft view, but my experience has been that knowledge work is mostly about achieving consistency and agreement. Implementation is absolutely not independent from defining/discovering the requirements with this type of work. They're basically the same thing.
