I hear what you're saying, and I'm not sure I can articulate it well enough yet. We don't ask hammers to do the work of design, of finish work. Art, craftsmanship, is an expression of soul, of curiosity, invention, exploration--of creation. We don't ask hammers to create. A hammer is purely an instrument. It makes no "choices" of its own accord. A chisel doesn't decide on its own the exact angle of an arched eyebrow, or the slow curve of a female's lower back--the sculptor does this.
We also don't ask hammers questions, and lend them some level of credibility that it's actually good, precise, or properly nuanced answer.
There is some aspect of man as a unique, soul-expressing, sub-creator that seems to be cheapened when we "computerize" it.
Call me a #luddite if you will, but I find it...somehow...unnatural..."too" artificial, even "plastic" if that makes sense.
I think a TL;DR might be: humans alone are the artisans. Let the machines do machine things, and let the humans do the art.
