All those LinkedIn experts on AI Literacy are going to have to retool pretty soon. Here's Ethan Mollick, who actually is an expert: "Until recently, the dominant way to use AI was as a co-intelligence.

By careful prompting and human attention, you could guide AIs to do complex and long-term tasks." Sounds familiar? That's all changing.

A joint study by OpenAI and academic economists shows how quickly this is happening inside their own organization." Is there a 'literacy' of 'assigning work to agents'? Won't be long. Check your feed.
