Imagine a future where students are expected to use a chatGPT-like AI to write their college essays. Would we expect the quality of their essays to be equal?
No.
Those with the best essays are those who are best able to use AI. These people treat the initial output of the AI as merely a draft. They judge and critique the draft. They go through revision after revision. They do not cease until the essay is to a standard that they deem fit.
In the end, the line between student or AI authorship is blurred. One can only be sure that it is a collaboration between the two.
Thus, the most important skill here is judgment. The ability to evaluate work critically, pinpoint shortcomings, and articulate improvements for an AI to execute.
The example I've given here is for essays. But it could be for interior design, video animation, financial projections, etc.
What do y'all think?

True. Everyone forgets what is the real goal of any technology or human skill, and that's - solving problems.
Already today the real problem on the internet is the infinity of contradictory information, so the skill one should acquire is the ability to navigate this infinite ocean of information, and that requires precisely judgement.
I can already envision a type of student test where the teacher generates with AI two contradictory statements on an argument, and the student have to elaborate and explain what's wrong with one or another.
