Why are the robots creating art and the humans packing boxes?
Capitalism; most of the time art isn't profitable, and if it is, the profit goes to the artist, not to shareholders. So if we make bots for it, we can force everyone to do wage labor in shit conditions.
Art is very profitable for the rich and elite, in terms of laundering money.
Underrated comment.
Because creating art is easier than packing boxes.
You have to start somewhere.
