I think the critical skill for everyone to have now is "spot the bullshit" which can take different forms in different media and domains. Whenever the topic of AI comes up in family discussions I let my teens know just how much BS companies are willing to generate due to the investment dollars pouring in. Hence, AI is over-hyped for the most part, although unfortunately for your friend there are several automatic translation tools that just work.

However, if I ran a business where we needed to translate documents I still wouldn't trust that to an automatic tool. AI is seriously flawed, hopefully eventually more people will realize that before it buries the internet in layers of garbage.

To summarize, my children are mostly indifferent to the advent of AI because I always tell them it's complete trash.

But that's not true though, it isn't complete trash. Some of it is trash, some of it is nothing short of amazing. And the bit that is amazing, when applied at scale and properly weaponized already has the potential to transform our world in many ways.

I'm curious to know which AI bits you feel are amazing, as I may just not have heard of that yet.
