Meta‑Instruction as AI Literacy

Kling argues that the key human skill in the LLM era is 'meta‑instruction'—being able to articulate the rules, constraints, and intent behind your work so the model can reliably execute in your style. An average writer with strong meta‑instruction can become vastly more productive, while a talented writer who can’t explain their process may underperform with AI. This reframes 'prompting' as teaching models how you think, not just what you want. — It shifts education, hiring, and professional development toward training people to externalize and codify their creative processes, redefining merit and productivity under AI.
