Contrary to what is written here, this job (at least, in my experience), requires a human eye in at least one aspect (usually more) on every piece of work I do. It is not entirely repetitive or predictable - every piece of land is different. Especially given that many counties do not have digitized land records, and also given that it would likely be difficult for an AI to ascertain a competent chain of title, I believe humans are still very much needed in this field. This may, of course, change with the development of new technologies, but I feel pretty confident in saying that title examining has a chance - albeit an uncertain one - to survive beyond the two-decade mark.
