I have similar feelings on a larger span of modern life. A big word this day is availability. As today everybody should be able to have every possible capability on their smartphone. And I think it's misguided (but a natural effect of the capacity for modern societies to produce everything fast and cheap now).. it confuses tool for craft. And yeah it kinda creates a race to the bottom, at least as long as the belief holds on the large. One day people will realize that no matter what you give to the mass, only few people will have grit/stamina/talent/luck to do something special with it, and oh surprise, turns out they used a VCR and a piece of cardboard, not your deeplearning infused movie infering app of the day.
