"New York Life all said they’ve never hired prompt engineers, but instead found that—to the extent better prompting skills are needed—it was an expertise that all existing employees could be trained on."
Are you telling me that the jobs invented to support a bullshit technology that lies are themselves ALSO bullshit lies?
How could this happen??
screw NewYorkLife, but LLM's are definitely not bullshit technology. Some amount of skill in so-called 'prompt-engineering' makes a huge difference in using LLMs as the tool that they are. I think the big mistake people are making is using it like a search engine. I use it all the time (in a scientific field) but never in a capacity where it can 'lie' to me. It's a very effective 'assistant' in both [simple] coding tasks and data analysis/management.
The gap between expected behavior and behavior is narrowing each iteration, plus people are starting to understand the limitations a bit better. The things AI does well you're talking about are being parceled off as AI Agents for monetization and don't require additional staff to oversee, they're turnkey solutions.
The headline here is that AI is costing us jobs but not replacing them. And if you're concerned that AI is a bubble, imagine what that'll mean when it blows and these companies start faltering and being purchased. This is all mindless disruption with no foresight.
