Sure, but I think there is a key diff between those examples and LLMs. In those cases, people don't necessarily mind the machines involved in the process, they dislike the socioeconomic and labor structures around those machines, or the animal cruelty—this is a side effect of the social organization of labor, not of the machine itself. Here, contrarily, the claim is that the machine itself is the thing that becomes less impressive once you know how it works-this is also likely true of any machine, but the point is not about the demystification of the technical function in the tshirt and sausage examples.
