You said it requires even more human labor than doing things that old fashioned way, which in my experience is completely false.

I said it often does, and in my experience it definitely does. Fixing the stupid computer's stupid mistakes and waiting for it to fuck up is half of my job.

In some cases it reduces the amount of labor, but in a lot of cases it's being rolled out way too early and can't do the things managers think it can.
