While I agree somewhat with my sibling comment's assertion that "aggregate information across billions of humans can compensate", somewhat, I'd like to offer that a lot of important output is non-digital, as well!

For example, lately I've spent a lot of time with resin printers, laser cutters, vacuum chambers, and the meaningful positioning of physical models on large sheets of paper. It'll be a while yet before my haphazard, freewheeling R&D methods are replicable by robots. (Although it's tough to measure the economic value of these labors.)
