Interesting ... I wonder if a good analogy would be to the music "industry". Without even diving into the potential impacts of AI, the building blocks of music that are available to folks wanting a music product, along with the tools to piece them together into that product, have become so sophisticated that what it means to "make music" is fundamentally different today than it was 5, 10, 15 years ago (let alone 20, 30, or 40 years ago).

Today there are musicians who play instruments or compose music in "traditional" ways, and there are other composers who have maybe never touched a piano, but are very adept at assembling high-level building blocks.

Both are musicians, though their skill sets might overlap in only the most basic of ways. Both can write/deliver music. But the one whose expertise is centered around assembling high-level blocks can only make certain kinds of edits, changes, and fixes.

The challenge in education and implementation becomes: as these creation toolkits become more integrated into the way we learn how to make music (or code), do we remove opportunity for folks to develop skills at a deeper level? Do we end up with a big but shallow pool of talent, as opposed to a smaller but deeper pool? (I fully recognize here that this is a question that might apply to any "shortcuts" introduced into any skilled field of work)
