I guess the difference is, with the art the human can immediately reject/accept and iterate. And a bad image can be crappy, it doesn't break anything. With software it might take days of testing to verify the result, and then repeat that for every iteration. Would be cheaper to build the thing! Where AI might work is in some restricted subset of software, like a web CRUD app where you say "I want an app that stores a TODO list with dates". With the constraints of it being crud, it just needs to AI the database and arrangement of fields and so on. The AI is not programming so much as it is choosing which "rails-like scaffolds" to initiate.

Simple CRUD apps are mere toys these days. We don’t even need AI to quickly generate them, it can be done with a couple scripts. The only people that would be replaced by an AI that specializes in CRUD would be recent CS graduates, junior developers. The serious engineers are all working on things that go far deeper, and they could never be replaced. If you want to build a business big enough to be listed on the NASDAQ, you need real developers, and you need to pay them real money.
