It’s kind of similar, I think. I mean most store bought bread is low quality compared to the artisinal product. Corporations don’t care if the product sucks so long as they can replace the worker.
I live in Fairly Large Town, USA, and the couple of bakeries here only make confectionaries like cakes and cupcakes. The closest you can get to buying a loaf of bread would be ordering a sandwich from a deli or store-made bread from a supermarket where they cook frozen dough from the regional supplier.
This is such a weird post. Is it satirical? Baking as a profession functionally does not exist anymore.
That’s fair, but we also get successful bread much more than half the time.

The difference is that bread is a minimum viable product, while Gen AI slop tends to eventually become descructive vs. productive.
Where do you live that has no bakeries?

Maybe in your parts. In Germany, professional bread baking (including the “artisanal” stuff that isn’t just baking pre-made doughs) is still common.
