the art generation I'd kind of agree with, at least from what I've seen around the internet, although impressive examples usually also involve hours of work. Image generation plays to the strengths of these systems because it doesn't heavily rely on context or requires correctness.

Code and natural language generation I've been much less impressed by the longer I've used them. Errors in code are way too common and unlike art being 1% off in code is as bad, maybe worse than being 100% off. The entire benefit of code is precision. It's like self=driving, 99% accuracy is useless, and likely dangerous.

With natural language the lack of understanding becomes apparent and it hits a weird uncanny valley, generic, repetitive tone that gets tiresome.
