Before computers, people had to figure out incredibly inventive ways of producing sound and video effects in music and movies. Just consider what it took to create some of the great audiovisual works of the pre-1980s! But computers came along and ruined all of that by making it easier, replacing the interface to the microphone or the camera with a computer.
This has always happened, it will always continue to happen, but the creativity will move elsewhere. It won't be too long before people are lamenting the loss of computer programming almost entirely, but by then the creative people will have moved on to, say, synthetic biology or some new system that can be 'hacked'.
