One of the Airbus golden rules is to us an 'appropriate' level of automation for the task in hand. When things don't do as planned, intervene and don't just sit for automatics to sort themselves out.
The children of the magenta line video is outdated. Things (in most parts) have moved on and lessons have been learned. However on watching it please don't think that we airline pilots sick there playing angry birds letting the computer work it's magic which some watchers of this video often proclaim online without fully knowing the facts.
It's fatigue and landing long for landing from an unstable approach that people should be more worried about these days but automation dependency will likely cause more issues in problem.
