Should bread come with disclaimers that it harvesters were used to collect the wheat, or machines were used to mix the dough? Maybe we can add disclosures to books that were made on a printing press rather than hand typed on a typewriter?
If you come into contact with a dough mixer, it should be clear that it's a dough mixer.
But if you come into a contact with a book, I imagine you might have trouble recognizing it.
Society almost never differentiates between goods and services produced directly by human hands, versus with the aid of tools.
This is objectively wrong. "Handmade" is an incredibly common marketing keyword slapped on all sorts of products to imply quality.
There's no law requiring manufacturers to identify hand made versus machine made, and often, there aren't even clear definitions for what hand made means.

Sure we do. We all have different expectations of a human service vs. Using a tool for something. Self checkout, for example. Or a robotaxi vs an Uber driver. Humans themselves can be a service and that can affect how we want to pay or approach one.
Luddites should be ignored because they are alarmist, and care not for whether their concerns are warranted or necessary, much like Californian politicians.
