> That viral quote that was making the rounds, "I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes."
We developed machines that would do your laundry and dishes decades ago. The current trend is to make them less and less functional over time.
The focus of the joke is on the automation of creative work. The joy is in the doing. It's nonsensical to just push a button to pretend to do creative work (generating art).
Laundry and dishes is a standin for all things that technology does very well and we appreciate it for doing that for us.
