except it's more like, "we have joinery equipment that is smart enough to safely drive a car in the place of a human driver - but we still won't let you just ask it to cut a stick in half. Learn a new trade, become a joiner if you want to cut wood!" Because my gripe isn't that joinery exists as a trade - it's that equipment that is so smart still won't do simple things for the user - on principle. People actively design their tools so they won't do something simple. Yes, really.
