From the purely utilitary position maybe you are right, but my point was about arts and entertainment. Using the content generation tools might be useful in certain situations, but it's not joyful when the robots do the job for you.

Imaging that you purchase a video game, but then use LLM to play this game for you. Another example is Chess. Stockfish is more efficient than most Chess players, but playing Chess using programming assistant (even a little bit) is no longer a sport competition.

I also agree that not everyone like programming, and see it just as a job to be done.

ow I see the arts and entertainment point, and it makes sense!

But I'm now wondering why programming with AI doesn't feel like art (which is totally true to me at this point)?

For me I'd say the answer is related to feeling in control. Either: - I don't know enough about using AI to code and feel I'm in control or; - the tools are not at the level I need to feel like I'm in control
