Why a baker stays essential in the age of AI

  1. Dough changes with the flour, the weather and the room, and the baker judges it by hand at 4 a.m.
  2. A croissant is lamination, timing and oven feel, learned over hundreds of batches.
  3. People cross the street for the bakery where the bread is good and the face is known.
