    The water that goes into building my house resulted in a house being built.

    The water that goes into generating bored apes results in slop that benefits no one.

      Fine, valid point that I agree with but it’s not what was asked. You previous poster asked ‘What’s the cost’, now you’re implying ‘What’s the point?’. Not the same question at all

        They are related points. The cost matters because there’s no point to the slop machines; they’re wasteful specifically because they don’t produce anything worthwhile for the resources they consume.
