      Hmm, kinda? A lot of industrialization went hand-in-hand with losing customizability and things made to fit.

      A while ago I talked with a woman in her 90s and she said that when she was young, no serious TV moderator would have worn an ill-fitting off-the-shelf clothing.

      The same holds true for all sorts of articles: custom-made shoes, custom-made furniture, custom-made houses, for example. All that is relegated to the luxurity sector and most people just go with ill-fitting off-the-shelf industrial goods instead.

      AI kinda fits into that department for many tasks. Low-quality translations, low-quality texts, low-quality work, all off-the-shelf and ill-fitting but cheap and mass-produced.
