> I’m increasingly convicted there is inherent value in humans doing things

And in many fields I think many (most?) Americans at least would agree with you — there’s some special value in a handmade product, regardless of whether a machine-made equivalent would be technically superior. For instance a leather bag, a wooden chair.

(Am in US, hence “American” qualification).

The problem with 'hand made' is going to be the same problem we see with 'human made' art in the future.

There are $incentives$ to lie about your product and sell a mass produced one as authentic.
