I mean. Do you think that there are people out there with good taste in software and imaginative ideas, who can’t pass the skill barrier currently required to write code?

Why would art be any different?

I think art is a combination of physical skill and conceptual taste/ability, among other things. The skill part is non-trivial.

Software seems like mostly thought-stuff to me, there’s no mechanical skill-based piece. But even so, when AI can generate a full app with the ease of iteration displayed in the OP, then sure, I think you’ll see some people with app ideas generating those apps themselves, instead of having to hire contract developers. Right now just completing stubs of functions doesn’t seem useful enough to allow someone that can’t code to make an app.
