The only warehouse job that's somewhat difficult to automate is picking. Every other job can be automated. It's just a matter of time.

Amazon can literally use robots to automate their entire warehouse. The only thing robots somewhat struggle with is picking, but they improved dramatically over a few years. The only thing that can stop warehouses from becoming completely automated would be the cost of the robotics and the maintenance costs.

With the industry, it could go either way since there will be the need to understand when physical eyes will need to be present to analyze the workplace. No majority of a population is going to change their career to engineering to be able to program every individual machine to perfection and eliminate that situation of environmental disaster.
