The analogy is fine. AI moves us up to a higher level language, and it is understood that higher level languages come with their own leaky abstractions, but the idea remain the same. It is different, but only to the extent that would be expected from stepping up to the next higher level. It's not something completely different. We don't yet have AGI that will magically produce the software before you even knew you needed it. We still need a programmer to write the programs.
