Code doesn't really have the same 'human touch' the way art does. We've spent the past 20 years making libraries, higher level languages, UI frameworks, etc to make development faster. If there's any 'human touch' it's a lot higher level than just the lines of code. Art has mostly been the same for a very long time. Especially painting/drawing. For most people it's a passion and creative outlet. From what I've seen (some) AI investors say so far, they want to replace that creativity.

Art and technology used to be... the same. Almost nobody really wants the artistry that comes with well crafted code these days though. It's mostly just about being done.

And that applies to more that just code. Buildings, tools, cutlery, furniture, whatever -- everything used to have way more craftsmanship.

Are you talking about the end products or about the process of creating them? The GP talks about the craft of the woodworker, not about the furniture. Me as a customer don't really care how the knife was made, as long it's a good looking sharp and sturdy knife. Same way, the customer of the AI produced software again will only care whether the software addresses their needs and has good UX. And I fully believe AI tools will give that, rather sooner than later, even if with human help.
