I think the fundamentals are radically different, just due to the ease of applying this stuff.

I used to be able to train and deploy a ML model to help solve a problem... if I put aside a full week to get that done.

Now I tinker with LLMs five minutes at a time, or maybe for a full hour if I have something harder - and get useful results. I use them on a daily basis.

Exactly. LLMs are useful out of the box—and that enables tons of use-cases that just weren't economical (or even possible) with older models.
