replacing these humans with machines would be the start of a short process that would end up with indistrially-produced bad cheese.

I agree. As soon as you replace humans with machines, the next step is so-called "value engineering," where squeezing pennies out of a process becomes more important than the product.

Let the tech people do tech. Let the artists do art. Food is an art.

While I respect the point you're making, food is not an art. It is usually a perishable commodity and a requirement for survival.

It can be an art, and I for one am very glad I'm surrounded by countries where it is considered as such (e.g. Italy, France) so that I can indulge in tasty experiences almost everyday rather than treating "getting fed" as a 7h-per-week chore. That would suck.
