I'm all about AutoML but the best data scientists do what the author says: They try to understand the problem in detail first. I think fewer and fewer do this well.

Absolutely, auto ml cannot know your problem, as a word processor cannot know what book you want to write.

The goal of AutoML is to compress the time/money from idea/problem def to running models, it is not to replace the data scientist.
