There is truth to this post. But much like the talks and training materials it critiques, the content is arguably redundant because the models themselves are already more capable of covering the topic than the author.
That is the strangest hurdle to clear these days. Half the work in AI solutions now involves convincing senior management that their problem could have been solved instantly if they had simply asked the model directly, rather than tasking someone to act as a middleman.
When you point this out, the typical response is that someone needs to know how to structure the prompt, manage the data sources, and navigate the parameters. They are wrong. That was a job requirement last month. This month, the model will tell you exactly how to do it yourself.
The AI expert job economy is currently collapsing in on itself. All the specialized knowledge accumulated over the last few years is being rapidly commoditized. These experts are being reduced to a single, repetitive sign: you can actually just ask the model directly. That realization hardly justifies a salary, especially for the same people who were the company’s MVPs just two months ago, helping execs revolutionize the business. Now, their greatest insight is their own redundancy.
But, of course, none of this matters. You can just ask the model. It will tell you everything you need to know.

I love the smell of pedantry in the morning, but seriously, touché!
