Eventually automation will replace us. We'll still be sitting there "feeding the monkey" but in the end autopilots won't shut down the wrong engine, they will recognise unreliable airspeed and deal with it, they won't be susceptible to CFIT and so on. In the end flying will be safer than it already is. How far into the future? No idea, but it's bound to happen.
I saw the beginning of the process years ago on my 777 conversion with TAC, auto rudder on engine failure. It's not hard to imagine auto everything following eventually.
