AI is separating workers who use it to extend their capability from those who use it to avoid developing capability. The career implications of that distinction will compound.

Non-technical employees who become fluent in AI tools are more valuable than technical employees who are not. Most hiring logic has not caught up to that.

The productivity gains from AI are not evenly distributed. Teams with structured AI training are capturing them. Teams without are largely not.

The skill being underinvested in right now is critical evaluation of AI output, not prompt writing.
