Don't think it of it as the machine performing repetitive tasks you specify. Think of it instead as the machine accomplishing goals you specify, by figuring out the tasks necessary for accomplishing them.

For example, instead of telling the machine something like, say, "increase the left margin by a quarter inch," you'd say something like "I want to create a brochure for this new product idea I just had, and I want the brochure to evoke the difficult-to-describe feeling of a beautiful sunshine. Create 10 brochures like that so I can review them."

This presumes, of course, that the technology continues to improve at the same pace. No one knows if that will happen.
