I think the reality is that, this notion of "democratising" various technical mediums is used to gloss over that, as countless studies have now evidenced, humans primarily learn and remember well thing by doing things, not merely passively consuming them. Fine-precision decision-making will likely always be the domain of dedicated tooling designed to better correspond with the particular medium or task -- that is, manual testing and experimentation, not relying on logocentric prompt idolatry.

When we get into literature, visual art etc. it becomes more of a problem. You can't get Cormac McCarthies or Mars Voltas from software designed to give you perfect statistical 50% grey, and people who try and hack it without doing the reading, are going to end up writing gibberish. People who actually enjoy and like art, music whatever are going to grow Very bored with the overwhelming majority of work reliant of primarily generative methods, save for those who already have discretion learned through experience of many tools and other means of expression.
