This reminds me of Isaac Asimov's "Profession" short story. Most people receive their ability (and their matching assigned profession, thus the name) from a computer. They then are able to do the necessary tasks for their job, but they can't advance the art in any way. A few people aren't compatible with this technology, and they instead learn to do things themselves, which is fortunate because it's the only way to advance the arts.
