<< I do see an argument that taste, a critical attitude and a good "bullshit detector" are now more important than ever.

Yes. Oddly, for once, English majors may actually benefit, because they may be better prepared than most to prepare prompts for the jobs of tomorrow ( mild sarcasm, coffee didn't kick in yet ).

You laugh, but I'm seen as a local/regional expert at prompt engineering in my field because of my background in technical and creative writing learned as an English major. People pay me to help them understand these tools and how to use them in their work. All I'm doing with them is logic and communication.

I have zero idea how the tools work, I'm just really good at communicating in a clear and concise manner when I need to.

I remain convinced that it is those who studied/have a passion for the humanities and liberal arts that will be leading the charge of future product innovation.

With all due respect with pure technologists, they just dont understand people, what they need, and how to envision/communicate the benefits.
