Everything about that analogy is wrong. Everyone would prefer a nicer handmade chair (if not by the price difference). Chairs are not comparable to OPs cards; writing on a card costs nothing (but intent, which seems to be in low stock these days). Finally, factoring in the real operating cost, ongoing capital costs, and environmental/social externalities, the AI chair in your example would cost something like 1000x a handmade chair.
