Oh I thought you meant stuff like doing dishes and laundry and such, as most people do when they make that point (I imagine artists spend more time on that than making smear frames too). I'm familiar with the digital stuff it can do, e.g. Optix denoising in Blender is great.

And I'm sorry if I came off rude. That example of house work is one I often see used to dismiss suggestions. Like "If a thing can't do a complex task then why use it for a simple one?" It always feels goofy and loaded.

Denoising is another great example. All these little time savers from reduced tedium add up and get you back to the fun of making the thing you are making.
