We as humans have had this argument with automated manufacturing, its a good reference point to predict human behavior.

Second is art itself. We have high quality art prints that a large portion of people are happy to buy. Artists themselves are happy to sell prints of their own work. That product is entirely machine made except for the initial knowledge work by the artist. I'm not making a art, not art argument. I'm saying, people are happy to consume manufactured content, companies are happy to generate it for them.

The argument that 'humans will stop producing and things will stagnate' is totally non-serious and doesn't even deserve a retort really..
