"If you’re doing the same exact thing 5 years later (let alone 10 or even 20) without any tweaks in your process, then frankly you have a job a robot should be doing."

Find me a robot that can navigate 4x4 trails and identify rocks with accuracy.

None exist.

And that kind of prospecting hasn't changed in centuries.

There's at least one doing so right this very moment on Mars, though it's pretty slow at it.

That thing is following very carefully-planned paths, not just hunting around of its own volition like a prospector would.
