Cutlery is, of course, a very different thing from artistic works. Has a machine ever created cutlery as beautiful as a human being can?

Well, conventionally a human being designs the cutlery, and a machine produces to that design.

And yes, they can be quite pretty.

What you see as the absolutely most beautify fork is in the eye of the beholder, of course.

Handmade cutlery is an artistic work. Machine made cutlery is an artistic work.

Remember, the benchmark for art is a banana taped to a wall.

I don't think there's any evidence that the famous banana was the first one to be taped to a wall.
