Artists correctly realized the threat to their future economic viability and made up reasons it was morally bad. Programmers are currently stuck in an earlier stage, insistent that it can never replace them because [various things].
Destroying a profession without a plan to help those displaced is morally bad. It's also inevitable. The most obvious mistake of everybody on both sides of AI arguments is denying the fact that something can be used for both good and bad, will have devastating effects and yet is an advancement that must happen, etc. This isn't cognitive dissonance - it's reality.
Advanced programmers don't use AI assistants because it doesn't help them write complex new code. This is mostly good for completing only well-known and more or less simple tasks. And I hope that such people understand the danger posed by "artificial intelligence" in many cases and in many forms.
