The mechanical bullshit part is being abstracted away time and time again and none of the issues you bring up have become problematic so far. Sure there's a point where this might change profoundly, but AI is currently nowhere near that point if you ask me.

(stuff being done for me: CPU design and work with the OS on top of it including multithreading and IO, executing database operations, turning higher level commands into tons and tons of machine language instructions, libraries that allow me to go higher and higher in abstraction level, think synchronising, multi threading, basic data structures like dictionaries, map/filter/reduce operations, etc - where I need to I learn about them, but mostly I just use them and let them do the heavy, boring, lifting)

(working with a low code solution like Mendix is comparable, you can become creative without the boring work, of course it has a learning curve, which learns you how to use the higher abstraction layers without the need to really practice or fully understand what it takes out of your hands)
