Did mass processed food production stop people from cooking or enjoying human made food? No it did not. The same is true in almost all domains where a form of industrialization happens.
Yeah but what if I'm getting pitted against my coworkers who are vibe coding and getting things done faster than I am. Some people write code with pride because it's their brainchild. AI completely ruins the fun for those people when they have to compete against their coworkers for productivity.
I'm not in disagreement with you or the GP comment, but this it is super hard to make nuanced comments about GenAI.
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.
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.
To be clear when i say processed i dont mean tv dinners but that have prepared food that human didnt cook.
It saved countless people from starvation while introducing the disease of obesity on a massive scale. I suppose that's a reasonable tradeoff.
