IB Product Ranked By Insulated from AI Automation for Analyst/Associate?

Been debating with a few friends and curious to hear everyone's thoughts. 

High-level my logic: more qualitative the junior work the more insulated from automation. 

From least insulated to most. 

    1.    ECM (templated docs + market comps)
    2.    DCM (modeling + covenant review automatable)
    3.    LevFin (standardized credit work + LBO tweaks)
    4.    M&A (process-heavy but still model/IM driven)
    6.    RX (liability management creativity)
    7.    Shareholder Advisory (shareholder behavioral, bespoke analysis)
