I still remember when SQL was a dark science that could only be managed by administrators that were initiated in secret rooms. Nowadays a lot of people use SQL without deep understanding. They do useful stuff but if you are very skilled you can do way more. And SQL experts are often frustrated with all the amateurs that use their database in such a sub-optimal way.
I expect the same for ML. The tooling will improve until regular developers can use it without understanding the fundamentals. They will do useful things but some skilled people will be able to do way more advanced stuff.
That's pretty much the path of all technologies. They get simplified to a level where they useful for a lot of people but some experts will be able to get way more out it. And usually the experts look down on the amateurs.
