Effectively using AI in the most efficient way IS the skill. I think we are misaligned on meaning a bit. I don't mean skill in the sense that a human will try to do a thing that AI can do better. That may be fun and useful (like playing Chess with another human), but the more educated human would realize that and focus on improving something else if it can be. They will simply use AI better than someone who is less capable, even if cognitively or due to laziness or disinterest. We already see this with the technology we have. I think this only breaks down at the point that nothing can possibly be improved by humans. I don't know how you'd even prove that limit, and maybe it becomes irrelevant broadly. But I don't think LLMs or AI will ever be used at an equal level by all humans. Will it make a practical difference in daily human life? Perhaps not at some point. I don't think that will be the case for any human currently living.
I also think there's a valid case for encouraging human skills even if AI can do it better in case AI goes sideways for some reason. I don't think every human should know the intricacies of farmimg and be capable of doing it using primitive tools, but I think it's worth having some humans who can if ever required. I think there will always be a case for humans who CAN do things, even if they don't have to. That's sort of a separate topic, but one I'm thinking about. Guardians of critical information and skills for human surival in a sense. Offline information on critical topics is a similar thing on my mind. Again, separate topic to what we're discussing.
