No, you do not need "AI skills." "AI skills" refers to prompt engineering - being able to 'prompt the model correctly' to get anything approaching what you need. It is quite literally gaslighting you into doing the "intelligence" work for a so-called "AI."

www.wheresyoured.at/ai-mythbuste...

“You Need AI Skills Today To Be Ready For The Future”/”The Future Belongs To Those Who Know AI”
So, you’ve probably seen a lot of stuff — maybe even in your own workplace! — about how you’re gonna need AI skills in the future, because, uh. Well, you’re gonna need them, and you’re gonna get left behind if you don’t have them.

If anybody ever says this to you, please ask them to be specific, because at this point I’m not even confident I can make up a task that AI can do for me.

In fact, here’s a simple one: please name me somebody who has gotten significantly better at their job using AI. One person you know. One. Just one. Try it.

Anyway.

I am, in theory, exactly the person who should be getting the most out of AI. I write a lot. I research a lot. I constantly have to keep an eye on stuff. I pull stuff out of large piles of data. I think I make like 500 searches a week, I’m a complete animal. I talk back and forth with my editor Matt Hughes constantly to brainstorm ideas.

So why don’t I use AI? Surely it would be perfect, right?

Nope! AI is a terrible researcher. I’ve used everything from AI mode on Google to the most expensive generative search engines available for large hedge funds, and in 99.9% of cases I’ve found nothing new or interesting or novel. That edge case was one time when a search engine pulled up a single quote from an earnings statement. Once. One time.

So, what do people mean by “AI skills”? Prompt engineering. They mean “how can you get this product that’s sold and hyped as a panacea for every informational problem to do the thing that it’s meant to do,” and the answer is usually “it can’t do it, but the way to get it close is to find nuanced ways to ask it to do stuff.” In a very real sense, “AI skills training” is actually AI training you — making you fill in the gaps, making you do the work that this alleged “intelligence” does.
