Also how would anybody be left behind? Lile say we are wrong an the AI stuff is real vital etc etc bla bla bla. Them we just need to learn a new tool.
Nobody died because they didnt want to learn how to use a debugger for several years and then finally reversed their stance.
I guess the idea is that the tech economy moves fast and if we don't get to grips with AI we'll be left in the dust, broke and unemployed. Somehow this is proof that AI is good instead of proof the economy is bad (if people are impoverished in a whim). It's just the same self-satisfied fantasy as always.
Basically,
Yes im just trying to say that it doesnt seem like a hard skill to pick up, and a skill which you can just skip a few generations and still be fine. Prompting gpt 1 is gonna ve different than the later models. (Even of the actual model improvements (compared to modules they add to the models) has drastically slowed down). Hell if AI worked you wouldn't even need the skills you could just ask AI whatever and it would figure it out.
