The real thing could be more desired, but to be honest machines will be able to do it better and cheaper. Which shirt would you buy, a $150 designer hand made piece or a $10 machine made one that looks just as good and will last a third to half as long before breaking? Overwhelmingly these days people will buy the cheaper ones as long as they look okay.
I say this as a 'special snowflake' myself, and most/all of the things I do create are mishmashs of other peoples' techniques and ideas, just put towards making a particular point or highlighting a particular theme. I'm sure we're all familiar with the concept that nothing is original -- I don't flatter myself that the things I make are anything more than a product of my inputs.
