Navigating the Future of AI Communication: Why Prompt Engineering Isn’t Essential for Everyone

I just got asked on a call, again, about the future of prompt engineering in this person was an account manager and she was asking, should I learn this for my job? Am I gonna be replaced if I’m not learning prompt engineering? And my answer is, most people don’t need to learn prompt engineering. Instead, you should really be learning how to communicate with AI systems, which is not that different from communicating with people. Things like building documentation, writing playbooks, setting up processes and systems for how you get your work done. Those are the skills that everybody needs. I think that prompt engineers will exist. They’ll exist in very specific AI companies that are building tools, but then everybody else can use to get work done.
