This is actually a (very) small plot point at the beginning of the book 'Sparrow' by Mary Doria Russell. A technician shadows you for an amount of time, until he/she feels they know exactly how your job gets done. Then they go off and teach an AI to do it.

It's roughly the underlying tension in Vonnegut's "Player Piano" as well.
