Old Money hates fine marble sculpture replication in the same way they hate Trump: it attacks their very shaky standing in the social pecking order, the attention they get, their special access to the best. They cannot compete.

Really, robot sculpting isn't much different than music replication. Before Edison invented recording technology, average musicians could make a reasonable living playing live in their home towns. Now they are relegated to providing music lessons to the bratty children of the rich, for an hourly minimum wage, while a very few lucky musicians of equal talent make millions of dollars every year through the fickle finger of fate, even after their death.

>the fickle finger of fate,

And the star-making machinery behind the popular song.

Probably more so that.
