Ask HN: Are things getting more convenient but less satisfying?

I read a post on HN recently where a guy in his teens used to visit a construction site to watch how peopled worked and even help them for small fee. Now he could just watch a YouTube video about it in 10 different ways but the experience differs in that the workers used to treat him well and converse with him, which obviously made him a deep impression.

So I'd be interested to generalize this: with things getting more and more digital and disembodied (ahem, ChatGPT), does it produce convenience at the expense of contentment?
