In this brief dialogue, two speakers argue that AI tools such as Microsoft Copilot are rapidly becoming ubiquitous across software platforms and will soon be a core competency for job seekers. Speaker A emphasizes that the technology is already deployed and will be unavoidable, urging listeners to start experimenting with it. Speaker B likens AI prompting fluency to traditional Microsoft Office proficiency—once a de‑facto requirement, now a potential new standard. They contend that those who master AI query tools will outpace peers who do not, just as Excel users outperformed manual calculators in the past. The conversation frames AI tool literacy as a strategic career advantage rather than a mere optional skill.

If you're not playing with this and you've got access to it, you should really start playing with it because it's going to— it's coming in whether you like it or not. It's coming in. You can just take a look at some of the stuff that Microsoft's released lately with their Copilot and a number of their softwares. So it's here. It's here to stay. It's going to be in everything you touch. So you better get a good understanding.
Yeah, and from my side, you know, I really— I think Jason just said it. So I think it's here and it's a new tool. So just like everybody— I don't know if this is still done or not, I'm showing my age, particularly from the last time I searched for a job or anything like this— but on your resume, you know, it's literate in Microsoft Office, including Word, PowerPoint, Excel. I mean, these kind of things I think are de facto standards for a lot of jobs. And I don't know, I think, you know, fluency in being able to query within this type of language could very well become one of those staples. And if you don't know how to use this, it doesn't mean you can't progress, but I think those that do define how to use this and be able to use this tool well will far outpace the people that aren't. Just like if you looked at, you know, you're using ACT or you're using, you know, written down pieces of paper to do calculations versus using Excel, it's going to set you worlds apart from people that are using Excel or using it efficiently.
