Art and technology used to be... the same. Almost nobody really wants the artistry that comes with well crafted code these days though. It's mostly just about being done.



And that applies to more that just code. Buildings, tools, cutlery, furniture, whatever -- everything used to have way more craftsmanship.


Are you talking about the end products or about the process of creating them? The GP talks about the craft of the woodworker, not about the furniture. Me as a customer don't really care how the knife was made, as long it's a good looking sharp and sturdy knife. Same way, the customer of the AI produced software again will only care whether the software addresses their needs and has good UX. And I fully believe AI tools will give that, rather sooner than later, even if with human help.
