Sounds about right.

I used to think software developer would be the final thing that gets automated because we'd be the ones making specific new AI for each task, but these days I think it's more likely to be spy craft that's the "final profession", because there's nothing to learn from except trial and error — all the info (that isn't leaked) is siloed even within any given intelligence organisation, so AI in that field not only don't get (much) public info about the real skills, they also don't even get classified info. What they will get instead is all the fiction written about spies, which will be about as helpful to real spies as Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise is to the design and construction of the Boeing Starliner.
