Yeah I would also say both.
When conversation turns to ChatGPT amongst my friends I often find myself giving advice on how to use it better. "It hallucinates and makes stuff up" is a common complaint. The solution is to give it some facts to build its answer on. For example I created an AI assistant to help me program my Mikrotik router by feeding it the RouterOS manual which is 100 megs in size and not exactly a thrilling read. Since I know how this stuff works on the inside I find it gives me good insight into how to use it better practically.
Then there are the more hardcore AI tech jobs which you will need some specialized knowledge for. Ranging from MLOps to GPU programming to developing new AI models or compilers to developing chatbots with the likes of langchain and so on. I think this is the area where the skillset is specialized enough that there is a demand for contractors and paying a decent daily rate.
