Comparison I would make is that is like the transition from renting a server to using services on the cloud - you used to rent a server of a specific size and do whatever you want with it, but then the cloud came and undermined that "Swiss army knife" approach by having you rent specific services directly - database storage, processing, etc.

So AI will be more directed and opinionated, but also much easier to use for common tasks. And the "renting a server" option doesn't go away, just becomes less relevant for anyone in the middle of the bell curve.
