I feel like it's going to take a lot of time/effort doing this manually

Maybe they don't want to spend time doing it manually...?

donatj Nov 26, 2019 View on HN

I was wondering the same thing. Seems like a massive undertaking by hand.

This is what we do but it's too manual for my taste.

Yeah but shouldn't there have been a better type of way than this manual-ish work?

Seems like an awfully manual process...

Sure, but it's not as convenient as doing it automatically.

That sounds like a lot of work, can't we get AI to do it for us?

Thanks... that seems really labor intensive.

Seems like a nice idea, but still looks like a lot of manual work..
