#but like. c'mon man. there is not inherent moral value in using a handsaw instead of a table saw

The only community I accept "AI can't be real art" from is the woodworking community, because they already tend to think that nothing can be art if you used anything invented past the 15th century to make it. Electric sanders are for people too lazy to learn to use hand planes. Circular saws are for tech-obsessed hobbyists who don't understand the true value of woodworking. I've actually seen people say pocket holes are artless hacks that let normies call themselves woodworkers without having to learn any actual skill.
I mean I'm not saying they're right, they're smug and obnoxious, but at least they're consistent about it
#ai discourse#okay most woodworking communities aren't like this but there is some real hand-tool fetishization going on in a lot of them#i mean yes it can be very impressive and a great show of skill. i love seeing traditional joinery!#but like. c'mon man. there is not inherent moral value in using a handsaw instead of a table saw
