Ask HN: Is there a marketable "skill" to using AI?

3 points by purplemoonx ↗ HN
Can anyone make good stuff with AI?

Or does the quality of output vary by skill of the user to the point some have what you might call "marketable AI skills"?

Specificity of communication is very important. Words - and shades of meaning - matter. Can you explain what it is that should reasonably be built? Do you know how to recognize a bullshit decision with negative benefits, and specify the way around it to get the model to steer into the tracks that you want it to follow?

Most developers don't have any experience using AI to it's full potential. If only because it's cost prohibitive.

Commanding legions of AI bots to attack problems. The the skills and best practices of using AI as copilot are different than being a Roman emperor managing a civilization and conquest over your enemies.

Getting something actually accomplished must be the skill for application.

There is. Companies are anxious to be left behind and want to hire people who are confident in working with AI. And trust me, especially in ageing societies, even your colleagues who are demonstrably tech savvy are not necessarily inclined to working with AI, so you definitely have an advantage there.
