I think it'll end up like any industry with machine made options. There will be the a spectrum of products from 100% human made to majority machine made.
There will be a few bespoke artists doing interesting things for the wealthy and the passionate. But, for most of society, the mass produced stuff is fine.
Take clothes, how many of yours were hand made VS machine made. Cobblers are hand making shoes the world over, we're yours hand made. I have some hand knitted wool stuff (because I'm passionate about wool) but my Levi's are machine made. Shoes, motorcycle gear...
Furniture. There's cabinet makers the world over doing beautiful pieces of work, but I got most of my stuff from IKEA. How about you?
It'll end up like any other industry with machine made options. The bubble will burst, don't get me wrong, but after the .com bubble burst we still had the internet.
One of the top posts of fuckai right now is a bottle of olive oil, now I'm not yucking their yum. I just have different things I wanna do with my day than stare at someones olive oil bottle. Not better, I'm glad they have the free time and mental effort to do that, pondering mass produced labels is their jam, I support it. I just wanna do different things. I expect the world is going to want to do different things too.
