While they're extremely complex to program (A.I. programming requires either very high levels of programming skill, or to be an A.I. in the first place. Usually both.) and set up, the effort means you can turn out 10 to 20 times as many gadgets as a person, without variations in quirks. They're not exactly reprogrammable though.There is that. I expect, though, that some really small producer is actually a little squicked by the idea that it came as an offshoot of the catgirling machines, and won't use them. Past that, it would prove usable... for those willing to put forth the required efforts to get it working in their particular assembly line.
