In the future it’ll likely be that doing it manually will be considered specialty work. This is already the case with much of programming — as you’d bring in a higher level engineer to do something like tear into the source code of SDKs and monkey with them.
For something as “simple” as a doughnut, this will just improve the learning curve and let you learn some things a bit later, just like today you can jump into beginner JS without knowing any programming fundamentals

Mere abstraction a bit different because with say JS you need to learn a skill. It is not easy for a non programmer to do well. Takes a lot of hours. Now or soon they will be telling the computer what they want for simple things. Userspace for non programmers is going to expand greatly.
Let's assume someone hasn't used Blender before.

Vs.
2 hour video tutorial to tell you what do 50 or so individual steps using the 2nd paradigm UI. Then clicking all the buttons.
-- Admittedly, the AI approach robs you of understanding of how the sausage (sorry doughnut) is made.
