(Here's a musician's take on it: https://youtu.be/BDJF4lR3_eg?si=kKJVF2hqSd-TOEzX)
"Being able to express your imagination more clearly" is fine for what it is but that's not how people use it. His point about the least talented kinds of people using it to pretend to art is dead accurate. People think it's snobbishness about art being this superior untouchable thing, and that is absolutely not it. You see the same thing with people going on about how SWEs will be obsolete, too, because something something code generation.
Making anything worthwhile involves thinking and choices and experience, and that sort of person consider that too hard and boring and just want something that looks worthwhile.
