I lately saw the following Software Development jobs requirements:

Experience with Generative AI - Advantage

What the hack does it means? I know how to use ChatGPT or Bard, but how much experience can one have to be experienced with it?

And I’m not talking about AI/ML or Algorithmist jobs

    This is total speculation, best is to ask them why it matters to them. I’ve seen two things:

    • People getting scared Generative AI will swallow their livelihood, turning to the devs to make some sense out of it.
    • People getting ideas Generative AI will give them a competitive edge, turning to the devs to make some sense out of it.

    Basically they may just be in the process of discussing internally what position to adopt and they don’t want someone totally clueless or uninterested onboard.
