What skills? Saying "Mommy, please do my homework for me"?
That's not a skill.

Chatbots are literally designed to require no skill to use. There is nothing to learn.
"Prompt engineering" has been magical thinking from the start.
It's like claiming "scrolling tiktok" is a skill.
Aug 11, 2026, 5:10 PM@aesthr Is it common for gamblers to claim gambling is a skill. I think yes

Aug 11, 2026, 5:11 PM@aesthr this always puzzles me like… u want me to do a course on how to use a website 💀
Aug 11, 2026, 5:11 PM@aesthr no you see, if you learn how to pull the lever of the slot machine *just* right, you get slightly better odds!!!
halsequundi@social.tchncs.deAug 11, 2026, 5:10 PM@aesthr that is not a skill, right. The skill would be to verify the correctness of the created homework and understanding it, before handing it in.

Using AI the correct way IS a skill!
It is really hard avoiding it!
Frequency Fault Officialfrequencyfault@mastodon.socialAug 11, 2026, 6:24 PM@sjaakkeuvelaar @aesthr Bullshit. Just disable it or don't use it. They make it difficult, but it's just software, it can be shut off or uninstalled. You just don't want to dig deep to yank out the roots.
Windows 11 has Copilot embedded everywhere, but there's a global control you can nuke that kills it all, even on cloud-connected accounts. Took me a couple hours to find it. Local Windows accounts let you semi-air gap the machine and no AI at all. Google SEIZES 4GB of your HD for Gemini.

@aesthr In music, and I cannot say this enough so people will ruthlessly mock them, people who refuse to learn DAWs (digital audio workstations) or electronics, or physics of sound, or music theory, or time management call themselves "Prompt Engineers" as well as Producers.
These dipshits know nothing about fuck, openly advertise themselves on LinkedIn as having PRODUCED "thousands" of songs and they're only in like their 20s or 30s (which is impossible).
Fuckin Suno bullshit.
Aug 11, 2026, 9:02 PM@aesthr I still stand by my post regarding this argument I made a couple of days ago:

@flamecat yeah, a religious framing is very useful to look at all this
