The blooming of generative AI tools led to a heated discussion on the future of labour skills requirements. The debates were stratified. Some believe generative AI could be a friendly tool to boost their work performance, while others were sceptical about keeping their profession in the face of the challenge. Among all the discussions, very few examine the communicative elements in this wave of generative AI explosion. 

In this talk, we will review the generation of communication tools and why mastering the use of language remains the most valuable skill in every technological advancement.
