you may be right and maybe not. Automation is helping a lot in all repetitive tasks. Not helping in situations which has not been PREPROGRAMMED before.
All AI (automated Intelligence) efforts are still in preliminar stages only.

if we assume that driving a car in less difficult than flying a plane
and we look around for how long and how many times we have seen experimental cars driving around test plots
and we look around how many automated cars we see on the streets - i haven't seen any recently but maybe i was not looking hard enough

so it is good to discuss single pilot flying as it will (possibly) enhance our common knowledge base but there is still some time before it may commercially happen. So even if processors run faster it doesn't make them more intelligent...
