This same argument happened 200 years ago after the invention of photography.
They saw photography merely as a thoughtless mechanism for replication, one that lacked, “that refined feeling and sentiment which animate the productions of a man of genius,”
Photography couldn’t qualify as an art in its own right, the explanation went, because it lacked “something beyond mere mechanism at the bottom of it.”

This isn't a valid argument. Just because someone said that about something with a certain quality doesn't make that quality true for everything which can have that said about it
