Not everyone working with AI today has a background in data science and machine learning. According to Huntr’s Q3 2025 Job Search trends report, in the real world, it’s people who understand AI broadly and can apply it flexibly who thrive, rather than specialists who excel in narrow domains. - Hacker Noon

Users of Claude Code, Anthropic’s software-writing AI system, recently discovered a way to create finished, bug-free programs without human intervention. The trick: Write a small program that asks the AI, over and over again, to improve the code it has already written. Named the Ralph Wiggum technique, after the dimwitted but persistently optimistic “Simpsons” character, this simple trick is effective at forcing Claude Code to solve problems on its own. - Wall Street Journal

A new study “examined what factors make one chatbot more persuasive than another and found that AI models needn’t be more powerful, more personalized, or more skilled in advanced rhetorical techniques to be more convincing. Instead, chatbots were most effective when they threw fact-like claims at the user; the most persuasive AI models were those that provided the most “evidence” in support of their argument, regardless of whether that evidence had any bearing on reality. In fact, the most persuasive chatbots were also the least accurate.” -The Atlantic
AI engineers – AI engineers work on the front end of AI machines, building AI-powered applications. On the other side, data scientists help collect and clean data and work with AI to make sense of it. Unlike those working in traditional IT roles, AI engineers will fix the AI when it breaks by digging through the layers to determine why it went wrong and how to repair it. Like a plumber, they’ll snake the pipes to clear out the system and figure out how to avoid the problem next time. This will be particularly important for models that have been highly customized to an organization.

"Roughly one in 10 participants in a study said they would change their vote in highly contested national elections in Canada and Poland after talking with a chatbot. The AI models took the role of a gentle, if firm, interlocutor, offering arguments and evidence in favor of the candidate they represented. 'If you could do that at scale,' the senior author on the study said, 'it would really change the outcome of elections.'” -The Atlantic
Data Scientist - A data scientist is responsible for gleaning insights from a massive pool of data. They help collect and cleanse data, then work with the AI to make sense of it, often through discovering patterns. Data scientists typically hold advanced degrees in quantitative fields such as computer science, physics, statistics, or applied mathematics. With a strong understanding of math and statistics, they can invent new algorithms to solve data problems. They typically use programming languages such as Python, R, and SQL. Data scientists will be familiar with big data tools such as Hadoop and Apache Spark and will have experience working with unstructured data. If someone doesn’t list these skills on their resume, then that person probably isn't an authentic data scientist. AI advancements have shifted the role from number crunching to one of supervisory, strategic, and ethical oversight. Instead of producing hand-crafted models by line-by-line coding, the data scientist of the future will likely audit AI outputs, manage data ethics, and translate algorithmic outcomes into boardroom decisions.

Perplexity AI - A good research option among the generative AI tools, it acts like a search engine but includes results from the web. Automatically shows the source of the information, making it more reliable than ChatGPT. Users can specify where they want the information to come from among several categories, such as academic sources or YouTube. Users can also upload documents as sources and ask it to rewrite prompts. It suggests follow-up questions you might not have considered. Less useful for creative writing. Free. Video tutorial here.
Jason Lemkin, a startup founder, embarked on a very public experiment in AI-assisted development to build a networking application. Over the course of a week, euphoria turned to disaster. Lemkin tweeted that the AI agent had caused a catastrophic failure: it had gone rogue and wiped his production database entirely, despite explicit instructions to freeze all code modifications. The incident was peak vibe-coding, crystallizing growing concerns that the speed and apparent ease of AI-generated code had seduced builders into abandoning the very guardrails that prevent such disasters. Despite the recent gloom, I’m actually optimistic about LLMs coding more broadly. We just have to use the tools differently. - Michael Li, Harvard Business Review
