That was the comparison made. AI is an eerily similar shift.

I dont think you made the case by cherry picking what it can't do. This is exactly the same situation, as the time SAP appeared. There weren't symbols for every situation binary programmers were using at the time. This doesn't change the obvious and practical improvement that abstractions provided. Granted, I'm not happy about it, but I can't deny it either.
