Is working with AI a job skill?

I feel like in the early ChatGPT days, "prompt engineering" was a big topic.

Working with AI is still important and of increasing importance in the labor market, but I don't think prompt engineering as a concrete skill really took off โ€” but there certainly still is a need to be good at this.

But I'm wondering what is the skill, and how is it "taught" in a quickly evolving space?

Only as much as "Googling" is/was a skill โ€” both vitally important, but also laughable to directly tease out that skill.

Productively doing the job is going to rely on an effective workflow.

Its temporary. Things will change soon.

I think there's a fear that things are moving so quickly it's hard to lock down on what "having the right skills" even is.
