This is precisely why I compare this technological revolution with the electronic spreadsheet. Before the electronic spreadsheet, what used to take several accountants several days to "compute a whole spreadsheet" after changing "a few inputs" is serviced by a single accountant in a few minutes. That kind of service that was only available to enormous firms with teams of dozens of accountants is now available to firms with a technically proficient employee who do that kind of accounting as only a small part of their role.

It took time as different firms adapted to adopt computer technologies in their various business needs and workflows. It's hard to precisely predict how labor roles will change with each revolutionary technology.
