Yes, and we've also decided that they deserve the title "engineering" more than software engineering does.

Most engineering disciplines have to deal with tolerances and uncertainty - the real world is non-deterministic.

Software engineering is easy in comparison because computers always do exactly what you tell them to do.

The ways LLMs fail (and the techniques you have to use to account for that) have more in common than physical engineering disciplines than software engineering does!

"professionally trained & legally responsible for the results" is definitely not the same thing as what we used to just call "good at googling".

Engineering how to engineer things might be engineering in some ways.
