Do you honestly think an ikea desk has "more expert craftsmanship" than a hand crafted by a woodworker desk?
The LACK (https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/lack-side-table-white-30449908/) is probably one of the most optimized pieces of furniture you can buy. There's no hand crafted desk that can be this cheap. A wood worker won't even get out of bed for $17.
Now is it an amazingly beautiful, rock solid, heirloom quality piece of furniture? No, but it's not trying to be that.
Programming is the equivalent to designing a factory, not carving out wood pieces.
I've worked in large organizations where a small number of staff+ engineers were approaching programming as factory, while many more engineers were obsessing about the details of their own narrowly-focused work and liked it that way.
It feels like the scale is tipping more towards the factory model and, understandably, not everyone is excited about that.
Yes there is expert craftsmanship in the industrial scale design of ikea products, and yes there is expert craftsmanship in a bespoke, handmade wooden desk, but AI results in neither of these. It's cheap and disposable and tuned for putting up the appearance of something high quality without any of the actual intent that would be put behind either of the other two examples.
