It is fine to use AI for programming, making music, writing, video... it's fine for all of these uses. Yeah, programming isn't special.
The only difference is that LLMs can code way better than they can write. Probably thanks to software being more and more immediately testable.
Idk I feel like it falls over in the same way. Poor understanding of abstraction, poor use of metaphor, an inability to really understand or plan through a thought from being to end.
People are okay with code that does stuff, however bad it may be.
But at some point it becomes impossible to understand and reconcile, which is something humans struggle with as well. Think of fantasy series that will never culminate, because there is no possible culmination.
