Of course, it's a job that requires no skills. How would one even be competitive in it? The genAI tool literally does all the work.

I think for a certain cohort of millennials whose first experience in the workforce was being treated like a wizard for knowing Excel formulas, there was a hope that lightning would strike twice. Natural language interpretation probably made the difference this time, though.

It's exactly what the capitalists want: an unskilled workforce that can do productive work with little to no training. Well the question is whether or not the work is actually "productive" in the economic sense, since most of the work I see genAI tools automating are bullshit jobs

Probably worth noting that the onetime prompt engineers were probably working and will return to bullshit jobs, so maybe the trend was a brief scramble for relevance that would have succeeded were it not for the fact that the producers of these tools need the illusion of simplicity and usability to keep their own grifts afloat.

Unfortunately, I know plenty of gen z who do not know how to do basic excel functions properly.

We were born just in time for a brief golden era in tabular data processing.
