The difference is you didn't do natural language prompts, you had to be able to ask for things in a very specific way.
It doesn't make up the bulk of development (though LLMs are eating low hanging fruit there too but its going to take a little longer) its a canary in the coalmine for how much this tech will cause some kind of disruption to people's jobs.
Whether it means that ultimately, it'll be like the adoption of the computer itself (an explosion of jobs relative to those who lost them due to the wide scale of computers) or not remains to be seen. It might open up higher forms of work and focusing on more thorny problems.
