We o longer have the machines to make the machines to do modern manufacturing. Try to find tool and die makers and machinists nowadays. Sure, an AI can create a program to run a 3-D printer, but try to find a CNC machine shop with an experienced crew - and then multiply that by 10,000. My high school had nearly a dozen machine shop equipped classrooms and studying that (as well as foundry, pattern-making, technical drawing, etc. was mandatory). They scrapped them in the 1990's and fired the shop teachers (who were generally retired machinists). That ain't coming back and the students taught in those rooms have all retired.
