@dthompson I think it's meaning is just fundamentally relative.  Yesterday's high tech industrial processes become tomorrow's quaint home projects.

@dthompson to put it another way, I've taken up drawing old tablet PC with a built in wacom tablet that I used to use for drawing about 14 years ago.  This is largely meant to be a time saving strategy to simply make art for my projects directly because I already have the skillset such that drawing an object is faster than making a 3D model of it.  However, the manual process of literally directly touching the art with my hand is appealing for contemporary reasons so I consider it "by hand"

@aeva I just ask Claude to do it

@dthompson however, this same process of making art digitally with a wacom tablet and a laptop is what one of my contemporaries in the art department back in college once remarked as "cheating", which is extremely funny to me now because my digital art generally looked so much worse than what everyone else was making in the department back then
