I think you've identified the basic, classic difference between artists/thinkers/scientists and everyone else: just as a musician can be given a piano and in time they create complex compositions, those that can see and operate in abstract conceptual spaces will see and use AI to create wonderfully complex compositions everyone else will be slackjawed in awe. This is human nature. AI is not an intelligence player, it's an instrument to find and tune like steroids one's own intelligence. Just like a piano, AI is useless to most people, because they do not have the artists/thinkers/scientists drive and comfort with abstract problems that are easier with even the most basic AI.
