There are also coffee art robots that can print something on the milk foam.
But it still requires the creativity.
And for sentimental stuff (e.g. pattiserie and florist) I would like to believe that humans value hand made stuff more than machine produced.
For a special occasion perhaps, but on a regular basis is it valued enough to pay someone a living wage? Most of this stuff I wouldn’t pay for, might make it myself though.
I don’t think you can really have a creative focused economy when landlords and banks are taking so much from us.
I never really understood the appeal of arranging severed plant genitals. Sure, it looks nice. But boobs also look nice, and I don’t cut them off and put them in a pretty bowl on my living room table.
You make a good point, but maybe no one had thought of severed boobs as decoration yet. AI will think of it for us, soon. What are the real dollar value of peasant boobs anyway-- I hear people arent generally worth very much if you do the math. And the rich + AI are doing the math.
Granny worked as a florist, not her own shop though. She had incredible strong hands.
As a pupil I did a work experience day in the shop. It was really chilly (Germany usually has not Air Con), we consistently had to clean the floor in the back room to not slip on the leaves, it was tiny in there and we were four people.
I got to wash a fake flower decor and rearrange it for a doctors office. That was nice.
I’m thinking cake decorator. Or florist. Maybe grave digger.
We have diggers.
I think manual labor that needs creativity (e.g. pattiserie or florist) has the best post-AI future.
Snatch anvil thief.
Wood carver! Oh they have mostly automated that with CNC machines…

This sounds nice. Working with something green and alive. Arborist too.

Maybe you should be a writer. Well placed, evocative, Hemminginway-esque sentence. You’re in the wrong neighborhood.
