alt Hacker NewsYeah, right.
That usually requires a 3 to 5 year degree, and possibly professional exam.
Having the AI do the work doesn't make one an engineer.
Just like one doesn't become a writer by owning a typewriter or a word processor.

And in civilized countries you need like 10 years of professional mentorship after the degree.
Among other reasons, one doesn't become a writer by owning a typewriter because typewriters don't write for you.
Whatever you can accomplish using AI without experience is now worthless. Sure that rando can now get a customized website hosted on Vercel with some struggling through setting up GitHub etc. That work is no longer interesting. It’s slop the same as a restaurant showing AI images of food. It’s digital plastic. AI on autopilot creating code, text, images or video is nothing more than a curiosity.
How about owning a typewriter that types on its own?
