… something more productive than art?

that’s quite a productive thing. art has tremendous value to society.

why don’t we automate the washing machine more instead of automating the artist?

Washing machines and roombas were the low hanging fruits in the real world.

Automating more in the real world is much (much) harder than grabbing the low-hanging fruits in the digital world.

Well we already automated all the easy stuff (washing machines for example), and now we’re automating more stuff as we get better at it.
Because some companies stumbled on this treasure first. Need to milk immediately.
