wanting something in the first place is even more important. most people don’t know what they really want
Tweet analysis: 74.2% supportive, 11.3% confronting — most users agree that in an AI world ability to craft clear prompts will become the most valuable skill.

Community concerns and opposing viewpoints
A lively debate about AI guessing intent versus human judgment, with some praising seamless prediction and others insisting on the continued value of authentic human creativity.
many argue that understanding what to build and clear thinking beat mere prompt-tweaking, while others tout prompt engineering or workflow integration as increasingly important.
users mention data sharing, centralization, and even the looming token burn implications.
Calls for human virtues — modesty and self-restraint — appear as a counterpoint to automation, with some saying those traits will gain value as AI grows more capable.
The thread mixes light-hearted banter and practical tips with sharper pushback; a few replies use insulting or crude language, and some contributions are playful or personal.

thx for the christmas card, Issac! it was lovely.
Only for a few months. Once we get comfortable sharing all our data and activity with a few chosen model providers, their 24/7 agents will predict what we want better than we can articulate it The token burn 🔥 to come is unimaginable
Community members who agree with this perspective
people repeatedly call prompts the new code/spec and argue that precision in language = precision in output.
commenters urge saving/versioning prompts, building prompt libraries, using AI to refine prompts, and taking short hands‑on courses to learn reusable patterns.
many predict AI will expose poor communicators and favor those with structured thinking, product literacy, and the ability to define constraints and success criteria.
AI punishes vagueness—vague requests yield confident but useless results, so knowing what you want (and how to state it) is now a survival skill.
taste, judgment, self‑awareness, and the ability to articulate tradeoffs are framed as the new moats—these human judgments remain hard for AI to replace.
people are learning to journal, document context, and treat prompts like code snippets; there’s excitement about a creative renaissance mixed with concern for those lacking literacy and critical thinking.
true
tbh throughout history the single most valuable skill was always knowing what you want
Does this mean I have to call my ex and tell them they were right about the importance of communication skills? I REALLY don't want to do that...
