Automation requires very high precision/consistency in the parts you want to work on. I seriously doubt that after many years of wear, tear, and impromptu repairs, those ships would be anywhere near consistent enough.
In fact they cannot automate the disassembly of cars even though their construction is highly automated. We just grind them up in a big grinder and separate the materials. So basically the same thing as with ships just on a smaller scale.
Automation does not require very high precision though it does require a modicum of consistency. Millions of vibratory bowl feeders with huge tolerances on their alignment mechanisms demonstrate this fact ("Damnit! A part got caught again... Gerry! Loosen that tolerance screw much farther out so that won't happen again" LOL).
That's why I said, "eventually with non-general AI".
Even a well written algorithm could work with something that's mostly in expected shape. How in the flying fuck is everyone so brainless that they cannot understand non-general AI can still adapt to things? Fucking hell.
I'm not talking about current industry practices. I'm talking about combining existing technology with unlimited bidget to create a factory that could kinda' do the task.
"Possible" and "practical" are two extremely different things, and you goons pointing out that most obvious basic fact are adding nothing.
