I find it amusing, that

> my uncle can create software

Is considered great

> my uncle can create music or art

Is not considered great.

I guess humans have agreed, that art is a skill you must learn if you want to produce it, but engineering or software is not a skill worth learning and we are happy if computers can do that for us.

So it’s great and amazing if anyone can create their gizmos and software to help them but not if they create music or digital images, which apparently it is wrong to prompt, and not a sign of a great future.

Isn't this directly from that most people can relate to music/art but not with programming?

If you specified to someone that the AI is replacing the farting-into-mic-core music genre, they would not care. Same with programming, the average person is not exposed to this

Art is by definition a human expression. A machine cannot produce art.
