Will AI replace neurosurgery?

Given the developments of AI, it seems only inevitable that neurosurgery is next in the firing line. I mean think about it, AI wouldn't ever need to sleep, so even unaccredited registrars who have autoamputated their reticular nucleus wouldn't be able to compete. And they won't ever lose their temper against the medical student who doesn't know the difference between the superior and inferior colliculi, nor at the scrub nurse for not having spare size 10 gloves when the basilar artery is severed for the 8th time.

I think neurosurgeons should just accept their fate and move to something much less vulnerable to AI, like medical administration.
