... the current state-of-the-art won't be what we use, and the prompts people are spending tons of time crafting now will be useless.
so I don't think there's all that much FOMO to F over. either the hype bubble pops or literally everyone in those trades will be starting over with brand new skills based on whatever was developed in the past 6 months. people who rode the wave will have something like 6 months of advantage...
... and their advantage will quickly be put into GPTs and new users won't need to learn that either ("you are a seasoned GPT user writing a prompt..."). unless you worry endlessly about Roko's Basilisk, it's kinda ignorable I think. either way you still need to develop non-GPT skills to be able to judge the output, so you might as well focus on that.
