Re:SpiceNice – An Open Source Spice Database on Wednesday December 18, 2024 @03:52AM (#42449025)

As far as i know training this monkeys takes time, the robots will do the job right away if you put this in the long term the robots is cheaper than keep a monkey. But of course they should make it simple in the way that a non specialized employee can operate the bot without any problem.
