Many people with no skills are taking advantage of the LLM craze to artificially inflate their own value. I see it every day on LinkedIn.

People that previously have barely any experience in tech, now being hired in AI startups because they are good bullshitters.

Countless directors and managers are now cosplaying as engineers. I've seen so many myself and that's just my tiny slice of this engineering world

To be fair, "people with no skills inflating their own value" is what LinkedIn has always been like. But I guess LLMs are uniquely well positioned for that task.
