Why? A bunch of human workers can get a lot more done with a capable leader who helps prompt them in the right direction and corrects oversights etc.

And overall, prompt engineering seems like exactly the kind of skill AI will be able to develop by itself. You already have a bit like this happening: when you ask Gemini to create a picture for you, then the language part of Gemini will take your request and engineer a prompt for the picture part of Gemini.
