Most of the things we have today would make us gods to people 1000 years ago. We can kill people with just a finger on a magic wand (aka a firearm). We can move to any place around the world and know where every city is, within 48 hours. We have flying things that can kill millions of people and ships that carry flying things. Heck, we have medical knowledge and don't rely on the four humours to heal people anymore.
If we could create any material item just from energy, we'd end up with developers. Most of the creation will still be use case analysis, product design and development, iteration, "clean code", "debugging".
Something like CRISPR has a lot of potential, but we're still a long way from creating all kinds of crazy things.
