Autonomic Code not About Replacing Humans

An anonymous reader writes "IT professionals can automate IT management tasks by delegating them to the system, and can plan the degree of automation that is right for them and how manual managers and autonomic managers work together. This article discusses the role of the humans, or lack there of, in autonomic systems. The article claims that isn't about replacing people with machines." How have other readers experienced the use of autonomic code both good and bad?

I'm pretty sure the article is talking about software that manages managers, and delegates employes and that sorta thing. Like a windows application. A computer running the IT department sorta way.

I don't know where autonomicthingymagingy code came from.
