Nobody is sculpting better than Michellangelo with angle grinders though.

  Yeah but the analogy goes, if Michelangelo could snap his fingers to remove the first 80% of material on a chunk of marble, he could focus on the details and get more done, or have more time to perfect. Generative AI is best at things it has been trained on the most, so the most repetitive, rote, boilerplate, tasks become much quicker.

No. If that was a valuable thing that could be delegated, he could have "snapped his fingers" and have assistants do it. Or maybe sculpting isn't all about the later detail work like you assume, and removing that first 80% also requires skill and can't be delegated.
