I disagree. Just because AI is getting more prevalent doesn’t mean tech skills will be relegated to the side. Sure, the mediocre executives and engineers will find it hard to compete against AI tools, but those who rise to the top in science and engineering fields manage to do so because they know how to leverage AI to solve complex problems.
I also think the extent to which creativity is prized depends on the structure of the society. I won’t say that Singapore is largely conformist, but I do think that if someone is too unorthodox (too creative), he will be judged as someone who “rocks the boat”. Do I wanna unleash my full creativity when I arrive at a new job? Probably not. I will adopt a wait-and-see mentality first. Unless I encounter an existing process that I think is so stupid that I feel like I will be doing myself an injustice by keeping quiet
It's true that tech skills are still needed, but I wonder if there will be any good jobs that only require such skills. I think you used to be able to make a pretty good living just by coding up other people's ideas, but I wonder if that's still gonna be possible

I agree that these days, you need creative computational thinking to thrive. See not just the problem, but how it is embedded within a system. And tackle systemic issues in novel ways

These worries are unjustified. AI can hack together some buggy code for a very basic program. But tell it to write some device driver for Linux and it will fail completely.
