- There is a big demand for really complex software development, and an LLM can't do that alone. So software devs have to do lots of busywork, and like the opportunity to be augmented by AI
- Conversely, there is a huge demand for not very high level art. - eg, lots of people want a custom logo or a little jingle, but no many people want to hire a concert pianist or comission the next Salvadore Dali.
So most artists spend a lot of time doing a lot of low level work to pay the bills, while software devs spend a lot of time doing low level code monkey work so they can get to the creative part of their job.
