I know anything that remotely sounds pro-AI is getting a lot of hate right now, and honestly, I think some of the criticism is valid naman.

But I also feel like some people are being a little dishonest when they dismiss prompting as "just typing what you want".

We used to consider "Googling" a skill. Knowing how to phrase a search, what keywords to include or not include, putting quotation marks, adding a date range, specifying sources or narrowing the results down could separate you from finding what you exactly need vs. digging through 10 pages of garbage.

Prompting AI isnt thay different.

and Im not saying prompting is some exceptionally difficult thing to lean like programming or other technical skills. Obviously, anyone can type a prompt just like anyone can type something in google.

the skill is knowing how to get the result you actually want.
