Based on evidence here, s..t-posting on forums seems to be the new use-case.

No end of dweebs drive by with the latest "helpful" pith generated by some LLM.

There are so many companies that makes use of automation very well. In fact, their business can't function without using automation. Banking and Finance industry is an example of such company.

The Energy & Utilities Industry rely heavily on automation in order to be very effective. Automation in the energy & utilities industries helps to optimize and manage grids in a better way.

As someone who actually programmed the computers that controlled our provincial generation, transmisssion, and distribution grid for 29 years I disagree with the classification of that software as automation in the sense of this discussion. While we did have some packages that were advisory (water flow optimization and generation efficiency for two), the actual operating decisions were always in the hands of human operators. This is no more automation than is output from a spreadsheet.

i'm not sure where I stand yet on self-driving cars. Asking your car to drive you from point A to point B and giving control to the car is automation. Asking for an optimal route where the system is aware of construction zones, current traffic flow, etc., then using that as a starting point where you can manually override the route is advisory. A strictly shortest/fastest route may end up taking you through a dangerous part of town.

A little trivia here - was anyone else aware that the voice of the Johnny-Cab in the original Total Recall movie was provided by the actor (Robert Picardo) who portrayed the AI doctor in Star Trek Voyager? The driver even physically resembles the actor.

I didn't notice, despite getting into Voyager, and watching Total Recall, both in my early college days, so roughly around the same time. (Random fact: My college friend, Dan, both recommended Total Recall to me, as well as told me I should start a programming forum.)
