That is an issue that exists regardless of ai but i do get it. Most furniture is not hand made. But that doesnt preclude people from enjoying buying or making handmade furniture.

The fact that i think people need to get over is that you are blessed beyond measure to have a fun job that gives you creative joy and satisfaction. Losing that because of ai/new tool is not some unprecedented event signaling the end of creativity. A job is a job.

What amuses me is i have just as much fun clacking away with some ai help as i did before. But then again i like the problem solving process more than writing the same code in one specific programming language.

They are wrong however. To take the food example, the existence of processed food production creates artifacts like food deserts. If you are privileged these things don't effect you as much as you get more agency.

Just the existence of quick to eat and prepare foods are going to put limits on how long you are going to be given for lunch and dinner. Even if you wanted to prepare fresh food, the system is going to make it difficult since it becomes an unsupported activity in terms of time allowances and market access.

A subjective take that processed quick food is bad or less than the opposite. It is all about new things that optimize the old.

To be clear when i say processed i dont mean tv dinners but that have prepared food that human didnt cook.

I made no judgement about the quality of processed food or where the different options rank in terms access to calories and nutrition, or what is actually feasible. It was simply about how changes can become mildly to severely obligate to certain populations in our economic system.
