What do you think the future skills to to adapt are? Well I remember when all the search engines came out right Google, Metaweb, Yahoo, AltaVista and you needed to figure out exactly how to use them well and the people who could use them well were a lot more productive at work and so that's where we are. So I think prompt engineering is probably the skill of the day today because if you can do it really well you can produce a blog post, you can produce marketing copy, you can produce images, you can produce code and those marginal benefits if you're 50% more productive than a coworker or competitor you will be promoted and that's sort of the name of the game. I think all software is sold because it's a promotion in a different form. Somebody buys the software and champions it because they can be promoted. So I think prompt engineering is the thing that or the skill that is the most broadly applicable.
