In the Era of AI, It Doesn't Matter What School You Went To or What You Remember. Can You Prompt, Bro?
For decades, we optimised for the wrong things. Memorisation. Credentials. Which university name you could drop. How many facts you could recall in an interview. The education system was built around filling heads with information that would be useful later. Then AI happened and suddenly the information is just there. You do not need to remember it. You need to know how to get it. The new skill is prompting. Not in the narrow sense of writing clever queries to ChatGPT. In the broader sense of knowing what to ask, how to ask it, and what to do with the answer. The people who thrive in the AI era will be the ones who can extract value from these tools. Credentials are becoming less relevant by the day.
