I agree. Very interesting. Realistically, paperwork & bureaucracy is an ideal target for automation. That said, every input that you feed an algorithm is legally debateable... Structuring your inputs to be both legal and optimal is more storytelling than mathematics. There's enough play in these "subjective" parts that results could be anything.
Still, having a major algorithmic in the mix changes the game.
The fact is, that while PCs have been (a) on every desk and (b) paperwork efficiency machines for the last 30 years... the total number of legal/accounting/hr/admin jobs has increased in this period.
The effects of technology/efficiency on "clerical" work is not predictable in the way it is on factories.
