Look, if you want to make a robot that cooks fried rice faster and more cheaply than a human, you wouldn’t make one that looks like a human who manipulates woks and spatulas; you’d make a big box into which you pour ingredients, and invent simplified mechanisms that do the job. But if you want to make a robot that *directly devalues the worth of a human cook*, you’d make one that looks like the human cook. After all, a human cook could plausibly claim that their food has a special touch that the big industrial box cannot replicate; but they can’t make the same claim against a robot that uses the same implements and methods they use to make their products.
