This is a qualitatively different kind of abstraction. All other abstractions still require the programmer to express the solution in a formal language, while LLMs are allowing the user to express the solution in natural language. It's no longer programming, but much more like talking to a programmer as a manager.

I frequently think about how to phrase my query on a token level to get the highest chance of success from the completion I get out of an LLM. It is very far from talking to a programmer as a manager.
