>Ultimately, using an AI is a new skill

It's incredible watching people determine that outsourcing their thinking and work to what has been generously described as a junior coworker is a new 'skill'. Words are losing their meaning, on multiple levels.



Are some people better at this than others? Can people improve? I think the answer to both questions is yes which makes this a skill.

Just like being able to use non-LLM Google to search is a skill; I have family members who are amazed at what I can find that they cannot.
