I don't see that at all. Chat explains the difference between molded and carved.
What is your answer then? The Bible mentions 2 types one carved and one molded. Why the differentiation? I would think that the molded referred to artwork as well

There is no difference.

Jeremiah 10:8-16
But they are altogether dull-hearted and foolish;
A wooden idol is a worthless doctrine.
Silver is beaten into plates;
It is brought from Tarshish,
And gold from Uphaz,
The work of the craftsman
And of the hands of the metalsmith;
Blue and purple are their clothing;
They are all the work of skillful men.
But the Lord is the true God;
He is the living God and the everlasting King.
At His wrath the earth will tremble,
And the nations will not be able to endure His indignation.

Thus you shall say to them: “The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens.”

He has made the earth by His power,
He has established the world by His wisdom,
And has stretched out the heavens at His discretion.
When He utters His voice,
There is a multitude of waters in the heavens:
“And He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightning for the rain,
He brings the wind out of His treasuries.”

Everyone is dull-hearted, without knowledge;
Every metalsmith is put to shame by an image;
For his molded image is falsehood,
And there is no breath in them.
They are futile, a work of errors;
In the time of their punishment they shall perish.
The Portion of Jacob is not like them,
For He is the Maker of all things,
And Israel is the tribe of His inheritance;
The Lord of hosts is His name.

I think it was perfectly ok to embellish buildings with image. They don't all have to be idols.

It all depends on what those images are and represent.
There is God glorifying imagery of Creation.

i love art and so does the LORD who created all things = His Creation is the most astounding portrayal of true art.

"For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse." - Romans 1:20

ChatGPT is pretty good at writing songs, so I just gave it a try. I told chatGPT to write a gospel song, this is what it came up with

"Verse 1:
When I'm feeling down, when I'm feeling blue,
There's a light that shines, a love that's true,
It's the grace of God, that fills my soul,
And a peace that's beyond all control.

Chorus:
Hallelujah, let the angels sing,
Praise the Lord, for everything,
He's the one who carries me,
Through the storms, and on to victory.

Verse 2:
When I face the trials of this life,
And the road gets rocky, with pain and strife,
I know I can turn to Him above,
And find comfort in His endless love.

Chorus:
Hallelujah, let the angels sing,
Praise the Lord, for everything,
He's the one who carries me,
Through the storms, and on to victory.

Bridge:
I may stumble, I may fall,
But He's there to lift me up through it all,
He's my rock, He's my light,
And in Him, I find my might.

Chorus:
Hallelujah, let the angels sing,
Praise the Lord, for everything,
He's the one who carries me,
Through the storms, and on to victory.

Outro:
Now I walk in faith, with my head held high,
Because His love, will never die,
And every day, I give Him praise,
For the hope that fills my days."
