Use of AI can and will dull your (doctors') senses/ability. It'll help too, I"m sure, but there's not doubt the "intuition" part will be dulled. This is why FAA mandates that 50% of the landing be done manually. And you know when it's a manual landing because, inevitably, you get used to the greaser landing by autopilot.

There's another example. In the Infantry, map reading/land nav was an ABSOLUTELY essential skill. We practiced a LOT of it. As I was getting out GPS (previously not available to the infantryman) started to become a commodity. And I thought, "uh oh....land nav skills are going to perish" So did it happen? Yes! When you consider that one of the biggest hurdles at SFAS (Special Forces Assessment and Selection) is land-nav. Think about that. Only the best soldiers attempt SFAS, and something that almost any private could do 30 years ago, is a challenging event for the elite soldier. Why? Because it takes practice to read the terrain, to walk an azimuth, do a pace count, to shoot a resection etc. Something almost no one does anymore because you can just depend on your GPS.
I always did dead reckoning as a pilot regardless of LORAN and eventually GPS because I always wanted to know everything I needed to know in case electric went out. Because you never know!
