For people starting out now it will be ok for many years ,but about 20 years from now they may be put into tough situations and then the profession will turn into another one of those computer replaced solutions.
While its very difficult to think about it now, I think people who argue against will slowly start adapting , especially if some accident happens due to pilot error. And then everyone will slowly start pointing towards some odd statistics of this and that and how self driving cars reduced accidents by <insert large number>% etc etc and how automation solves everything .
But I also think there are some fundamental things that makes it difficult to replace especially if you think about incidents like Hudson .
