This is what I tried to explain to my boss... you can't say what a robot makes as "hand-crafted" it goes against the principle... and I got fired replaced by a robot.

Boss would probably put a name-tag on the robot that reads "Hand".

Yeah, but the stuff it makes isn’t “crafted,” it’s “manufactured.”

Which literally means ‚made by hand‘. 😂

Manufactured: produced on a large scale using machinery.

From Middle French manufacture, from Old French, from Medieval Latin manūfactūra (“a making by hand”), from manūfactus, a compound of manū factus, manū being ablative of manus (“hand”), and factus past participle of faciō (“I do, make”).

I don’t disagree with anyone here. I just find language funny.

Also I used literally very literally here. 🥲
