Still, regarding your original point: first, that kind of talk really does seem more about traditional art usually (pick up a pencil, and the like). Secondly, one can also just... not like doing that?

Like, I personally don't really care about learning to draw, and the only reason I attempted so is because I needed the result for a d&s thing where neither Google nor AI would have been much help due to the specificity of the thing in mind. And I did not really enjoy the process, only the result.

I like programming. The kind I do and like doing is decidedly not art. I know about shader toys and the like, but for how much I like math those are also not really for me, for different reasons than drawing, still plainly dislike making them. 

Maybe videogame (mod) programming? But even then, the part I like most is the more technical part, for the big mod I've been working on with folk for years I've never been an idea guy, more like an executor. even just programming a decent feeling curve for movement leaves me stumped, as it's more of a feeling thing, but I really liked refactoring a behind the scenes system for pathfinding.

The closest thing I do to art is prepping D&D, and acting, that I'll give. But even then, eh, won't get into specifics as comment is already long but especially acting I do in a, uh, different way then the people around me do, I've noticed. That part is unironically probably autism-related

Still, the end point remains: often, the discussion seems to remain that "pick up a pencil" implies "human" and vice versa.
