> If you say AI does 0% of your work, I'd say you're either a genius, behind the curve or being disingenuous

AI was doing 0% of my work 10 years ago too, why should I be any less effective without it now?

You think I'm behind the curve because I'm not buying into the AI craze?

Ok. What's so important about being on the curve anyways, exactly? My boss won't pay me a single cent more for using AI, so why should I care?

We used to do all our math on slide rules. They're just as effective as they always were.

But when you're being graded on a curve, standing still can still mean falling behind.

Which isn't to say that AI is definitively ahead of the curve; I think we're a bit early for that. But as actual answers to your actual questions - it's important because if everyone else gets ahead of you, your boss will STOP paying you

(and if you're "good at AI", you can at least make bank until the bubble bursts)
