When this automation fad showed up, many people pointed out that there would be plenty of cases where the training data just didn't cover edge-cases. Problem is, life is FULL of edge-cases. This is where humans are uniquely good at improvising and adapting in real-time, when faced with previously unknown situations.

In fact, you can argue humans are really, really good at handling exceptions to the rule. Pretty much the textbook definition of "creativity."
