>A robot can fix good soup vs your mom fixing good soup. But which do you want?

Definitely the robot soup. I've had a lot of "made with love" meals that were frankly worse than what I can get out of a can or a frozen box. "Made with love" doesn't actually cover for a steak cooked till it's gray and dead, or a cake that's dry and tasteless.

If you have a mom that can make great soup, congratulations. You are lucky and you should enjoy that. A lot of people don't have that. They might not even have a mom. For them, the robot soup is better than the bad soup or no soup that they would get otherwise.

Most people consume most visual media for the "colors and shapes", not for the artist's story or emotion. The vast majority of the time, we don't even know the artist's story or emotion.

Campbell's and Boyardee didn't replace Gordon Ramsay and never will. But they did allow millions of people to have acceptable, low-cost food, which they would otherwise not have had access to.
