Thank you! Somebody (@gracekind.net ) has finally found the perfect way to answer these "its just matrix multiplication" takes.
Also, the take "there is nothing new with deep learning, neural nets were around 50y ago" is like "nothing new with humans, amino acides were around 4.4 billion y ago".

Many of the most important “prompt engineering” skills are just management skills: clearly understanding the task to be done and what information is needed to do it; explaining the task to the AI; giving useful feedback to improve outputs; & generalizing lessons learned into a process.

The opportunities are so huge (and current issues in school caused by AI are so big) that it seems imperative that we, as a society, figure out how to best use AI in education as soon as we possibly can.
