I’m not sure if they could picked a creeper way for it to stand up.

No reason to act willfully obtuse.
I’m pointing out a very obvious way in which automation does indeed help benefit humans in general. We have access to sophisticated products at very low prices compared to what it would be like if all this stuff was made “by hand.”
That’s cool, but you’re still ignoring the point I was making and interjected your own.
I’m addressing part of your point. You said:
With the clear implication that industrialized machinery hadn’t saved us time. That’s not the case.
Since your reading comprehension is terribly broken:
Machinery is used to increase GDP, not to reduce worker time. All your time savings are used for other work instead.
The stuff I mentioned above is made in factories. It results in cheaper products. That means you don’t have to save up as much money to get that stuff, which means you spend less time working for it.
How long would you have to work to earn enough to buy a computer if each computer was hand made?
I’m gonna assume you’re trolling at this point. Have a nice day.
No, I’m genuinely disagreeing with you. Automation and robotics have dramatically reduced the amount of effort needed to achieve a given standard of living. If you feel like you’re still putting a lot of effort in, you’re likely getting a much higher quality of living than you would have for that amount of effort in the past.
