So basically what you're saying is that you do not believe that the creation of art is a worthy pursuit, and your bias in this regard is the principal reason for your opinion.

Define "worthy".

The worth of something is determined by the individual. So, do I believe that producing art has value? Yes, for the producer. Does it have value for the consumer? Only if/when the consumer finds value in it. In a survival scenario, there is no time for art, so it's value then is zero. Once needs are met, production of art may become valuable as free time is available, a luxury. You seem to be elevating the "artist" who sees their production as "a work", when it is actually just "work", non-utilitarian work.

The machinery has cut the "workload" into a microsecond, thus devaluing the cost of production. Further, it has devalued detail work as the detail time has been eliminated. I understand why commercial artists are freaking out. However, many of them gleefully told West Virginia coalminers to "learn to code" when their jobs became obsolete. It appears that the coalminers have indeed learned to code.

You don't seem to understand what "cultural development" even is.

Educate me.

From my understanding, culture develops from shared ideals. A person, or group, does something unique and then the surrounding people or groups copy it and add their own twists. Common motifs develop over time and a style or trend can be seen. This continues until a new element is added from within the group, or from contact with other cultures. Then the process starts anew.
