Honestly, everything that machines can do, there are some people who love doing it, and there can be an art to it. And for each such thing, other humans hate doing it and prefer automation.
Some people love cleaning, but we have robot vacuums and mops.
Some people love cooking and baking, but we have packaged food that requires minimal or no preparation.
Some people love woodworking or glassblowing, but most of our furniture and household items are mass produced.
Some people love managing their own computer or phone, but most people prefer to just let the manufacturer and operating system do it for them.
Some people love growing food with manual tools, but most farming these days is done with automatic machines.
Some people love driving, others can’t wait for self-driving cars or prefer public transport just so they don’t have to drive.
The list goes on. Anything can be an art.
I don’t know what my stance is on this. I think automation is necessary for the sheer quantities we need. I also think passionate professionals can nearly always do a better job than a machine, but it’s obviously more expensive and can’t keep up with demand.
I guess the difference is that drawing and writing only have value as art. If I don’t like drawing I almost never have to do it, but if I don’t like preparing food I either suck it up and do it anyway hating every moment, or it can be (and, in fact, is) a serious detriment for my health and well-being.
I guess the main difference in all those activities is when doing something for yourself, as a hobby or relaxing activity, or when doing something as an obligation, or even worse, doing something for others. Even something like drawing can become terrible if you have to stress yourself, follow someone’s orders instead of your own style, and have to do it fast to meet some deadline.
Right, personally I don’t like cooking and would be fine with automating that (instead of just ordering/heating junk food).
The most important thing is not to replace stuff completely, but give the choice to each and every individual person themselves. Great if it’s available, also great if you don’t want to use it.
And if you use it, don’t be a dick and claim it was you who did it.
That doesn’t really work and spies on you. Still requires human intervention.
cooking
Not if you want it to taste good. You’re thinking of restaurants.
some people get off on being pwnd
That’s a serious problem on so many levels.
furniture
You think i wouldn’t like some good handmade shit that will last firever instead of this ikea crap that will come apart a little every time i move it? But i get told my labor isnt worth that. So the old growth wood gets chopped into tiny pieces for my fückyoü cabinets. Still made by people btw. I will dig up William morris and stroke his century dead disintegrated corpse dick til it soaks you in formaldehyde over this.
food is mostoy automated
Nope. You’re just wrong about this. It’s a seeious problem with these harsh border regimes; no farm labor. People will go hungry.
Not exact words. Concepts so you know what section or idea of yours im referring to. Have you tried to precisely copy paste on a fuck damn touch screen? Im sorry, but you’re not worth that. I’m not worth that. Nobody is worth that.
Cooking can be an art too!

No.
Half of those “quotes” are either made up by you or you didn’t quote enough context to even understands what you’re saying.

Yeah, I do it all the time. It depends which app you’re using I guess. It’s not as easy as on a PC but it works fine for me on Android.
What the hell did you mean by “get off on getting pwnd”?
Letting corporatiobs own their computers.
Exactly, I’m not a bad cook, I’m a starving artist!
It’s much easier to treat it as an art if you do it because you want to, not because you have to.
Like most things in life, really.
Well said 💪
No one is making an art piece every meal.
No one is making an art piece every art either. See: the original dickbutt comic.
well with that attitude you aren’t eating at my place
