As time passes by, technological advances are being made in efforts to offload the accountants of more duties, with the current pace of technology, is accountancy becoming an extinct profession?

That is one of the common major concerns that students have, and it's normal. When it comes to technology, you do realise that every machine or software requires highly skilled and trained personnel to operate it, the same applies to the accounting field, as technology advances, the accountants should also advance too, to be able to operate the new softwares.
