Having worked alongside pentesters, I can assure you that there is plenty of pentesting that is far more complex than QA.
There are already many automated pentesting tools, and those are a good first pass, and yes, they could improve much further and take more of the bottom end of the pentesting market.
However, logic vulnerabilities, hardware vulns, research against browsers and operating systems, malware analysis, and even advanced network and web security testing, are all far from being automated.
