Admittedly part of the hype around AI is that you won't have to need to know what you're doing in order to use it. But there's a massive downside if you believe that and it turns out to be wrong.

As with any powerful but potentially-hazardous tool that is not perfectly reliable, I personally prefer to know what I'm doing and how the tool works. That's why I still have 10 fingers, 2 eyes, and a job.

I agree for every other tool, but AI's unique proposition--not part of the hype, the whole thing--is that it can do the thinking for you. If AI becomes what everyone claims, then you can't fall behind: you can always ask it to catch you up.
