It uses a lot of math, and robots are good at math

you still have to understand what statistics mean and the context of use, in addition to interpreting the math and the underlying bias in experimental design, data, assumptions etc... , that is sometimes more a gut feeling and instinct coupled with out of the box thinking.

Statistics requires a lot of reasoning which could not be done by a robot.

Yes I completely agree with you. Statistics is not only about numbers, a large part of statistics is the interpretation of data and then drawing a conclusion based on that data. Which can not be done by robots

Computers are getting more advanced. Already, there are programs that just take the numbers a person puts in and puts it into a graph, calculates all the things needed for you. All someone has to do is develop a system that finds the information itself, which is not impossible. It is not even improbable with today's technology. It is coming.

I think you're oversimplifying the job. Generating graphs and summarizing data are things I do, but they're not what they pay me for. AutoML does make me a bit nervous and sometimes gives remarkable results with little effort, but I think competitive pressure is going to keep humans (who know what they're doing and how to leverage the new tools) in the loop for a while yet.
