They have taken a lot of the day-to-day things and automated them and this has had the effect of weakening pilot skills and when it does drop its bundle you'll need those very same now weakened skills to fix it.
Which is why every instrument rating test /renewal should be split into two sections of competency. 50% autopilot flying and 50% manual flying raw data. Currently, most instrument rating tests in jet transport aircraft seem to be 90% automatics flight.
