0.25 day flight vs 120+ day walk doesn't really seem like a fair comparison, nobody is hundreds of times more productive from this.
5 minutes assigning the task to an agent and doing something more productive vs. 2 days of tedious typing you've done a billion times already.
As if programming by hand was sooooooo inconvenient
"Why spend $1k on a helicopter ride to Costco when you can bike there?"
