@jnadeau God, I already disliked AI, but as someone who loves baking that analogy really hit it harder for me. That and the comment of the creation process being enjoyable; I've found I really enjoy some of the tedious facets of another art form I do -- adding plush stitching seams carefully after evaluating where they'd be on a real plush when I'm doing 3D model textures, or other assembly marks. It's often the difference between something looking good in VR and looking real, that extra time spent.

But the baking analogy I'll hold onto tight for future use for sure. My wallet doesn't mean as much as taking my own time to make something delicious everyone, even my GF friends, can enjoy.
