There is a world of difference between a skilled user and a true Artificial Intelligence (AI) expert. Let&#8217;s find out who the real AI experts are and exactly what these skill levels look like.<\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"3\">Who are the real AI experts?<\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">Those who build AI models, design algorithms, and work on machine learning are the true AI experts. When you create an image using a tool, you are merely using a pre-built software or product. But the person who used coding and data science to teach that software &#8220;how to draw a picture&#8221; is the expert.<\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"6\">The 4 Core Levels of AI Expertise<\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\">The relationship between humans and AI in the tech world can basically be divided into 4 levels. See which level you fall into:<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"8\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Level 1: AI User or Enthusiast (AI User \/ Enthusiast)<\/b><\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"8,0,1\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,0,1,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,0,1,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Core Work:<\/b> Using generative AI tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ChatGPT<\/a>, Midjourney, or others to create content, images, videos, or code.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,0,1,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,0,1,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Reality:<\/b> Digital content creators, YouTubers, and website developers stay at this level to boost the speed and quality of their daily work. This is a fantastic skill that multiplies your productivity. However, this is not AI expertise; rather, it can be called &#8216;tool adoption&#8217; or the proper use of tools.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Level 2: Prompt Engineer or AI Practitioner (Prompt Engineer \/ Practitioner)<\/b><\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"8,1,1\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,1,1,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,1,1,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Core Work:<\/b> Working deeper within the tools. API integration, setting custom instructions, or giving precise commands to AI for specific tasks.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,1,1,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,1,1,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Reality:<\/b> They know how to extract the best output from AI. They can customize AI for search engine optimization (SEO), marketing automation, or specific website functions. They are a step ahead of general users, but they too do not build the core AI architecture.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Level 3: Machine Learning Engineer (Machine Learning Engineer)<\/b><\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"8,2,1\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,2,1,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,2,1,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Core Work:<\/b> True &#8216;expertise&#8217; begins here. They train new models using Python, TensorFlow, or PyTorch.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,2,1,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,2,1,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Reality:<\/b> They work with massive amounts of data and teach machines how to recognize patterns and make decisions on their own. They lay the mathematical foundation of how an AI model will function.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Level 4: AI Scientist or Researcher (AI Scientist \/ Researcher)<\/b><\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"8,3,1\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,3,1,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,3,1,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Core Work:<\/b> They build the future of AI. Inventing new algorithms or overcoming the limitations of current models is their main job.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,3,1,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,3,1,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Reality:<\/b> The people working at companies like OpenAI, Google, or Meta to bring entirely new technologies belong to this level. They usually have a Ph.D. background and work to expand the boundaries of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"10\">Final Words<\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11\">Using generative AI for content creation, website development, or digital marketing is now the need of the hour. Being a smart &#8216;AI user&#8217; or &#8216;prompt engineer&#8217; is also highly profitable and respectable in today&#8217;s era. However, the title of &#8216;AI expert&#8217; is reserved solely for those who are working on the science and engineering behind this technology.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"12\">Knowing your true identity based on your skills and upgrading the quality of your work accordingly is the real mark of a professional creator.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"12\">&#8220;<b data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"1\">Now, it\u2019s time for a quick reality check!
