Others point out that when all the world's information became "googleable", educators had to pivot and examine their expectations to focus on higher order thinking, and this represents a similar moment. The prompting of artificial intelligence to get a nuanced and useful product is also a skill that will likely be in high demand as the technology becomes more prevalent and more businesses learn how to benefit from it.
