    What does it mean to be "non-technical" in a world with ChatGPT?

    I recently came across someone talking about speaking to a "non-technical" board about data governance. Forget the fact that I don't think governance is an exclusively technical topic. I have no idea how most people use tech, so I don't know what the term means anymore. I'm stuck in an echo chamber of techies. But I'm curious what others think about the meaning of being "non-technical". What does it mean to be "non-technical" today? Is it non-programmers? What about no-code developers? And what about people building apps using ChatGPT or automated agents?

    In a world with ChatGPT, being non-technical does not necessarily mean being unable to leverage the power of AI and NLP systems like ChatGPT. It simply means having a different set of skills and knowledge, and working collaboratively with technical experts to achieve your goals.

    @leonormontero Thanks for adding that. I mostly agree. Different skills, yes. But knowledge? I'm not so sure when everyone has access to the greatest interface for humanity's collective knowledge.

    As a salesman at an AI company, I feel non-technical compared to our software and development teams. But maybe the average person would consider me technical because of my career.

    @ian_williams4 Thanks for adding some nuance. Definitely a spectrum. I've done technical sales in the past, which was basically selling to the engineering types.
