Considering the rate at which poker rooms are switching to those automatic shufflers, I'd say never.

i'm sure a person could track 1 card from when the dealer fans them throughout the game. but to track 52 simultaneously would require more than 1 brain

No, I don't think that at all, but some guy asked me that question a few months ago when he learned I'm in IT. I couldn't honestly answer which gave him more fuel for his stupid theory.
