I have a hard time with this one. Technical people understand a skill and uploading a skill. If a non-technical person learns about skills it is likely through a trusted person who is teaching them about them and will tell them how to make their own skills.

As far as I know, repositories for skills are found in technical corners of the internet.

I could understand a potential phish as a way to make this happen, but the crossover between embrace AI person and falls for “download this file” phishes is pretty narrow IMO.

You'd be surprised how many people fit in the venn overlap of technical enough to be doing stuff in unix shell yet willing to follow instructions from a website they googled 30 seconds earlier that tells them to paste a command that downloads a bash script and immediately executes it. Which itself is a surprisingly common suggestion from many how to blog posts and software help pages.
