@AuthorJMac Sorry, it’s just that my parents are old enough to remember when cleaning machines didn’t exist, and doing the laundry was an all-morning chore of hand-washing and wringing and hanging outdoors. Washing dishes took an hour and two people.
The machines we have now are HUGE time and labor savers. Once you throw in a fridge-freezer so you only need to buy food once a week, they’re the whole reason you now have time for art and writing at all.
@mighty_orbot Yes, I remember those times too (back in communist Poland, a washing machine was a rare commodity). I don't take them for granted, and I don't argue that the machines are not huge time savers. I'm just pointing out that some people (myself in particular) would prefer it if AI was aiming at taking away the mundane chores in general not replacing things that allow us to be creative, productive, and express ourselves.
