AI Engineer role is what mediocre developers name themselves for cope

Most people calling themselves AI engineers are just mediocre devs using a trendy label on themselves because they want to feel special. Real ones are training models, dealing with real data problems but these guys are just wrapping APIs and prompting tools, then acting like they are doing cutting-edge work. It feels fake and everyone can see it. There is nothing wrong with being a developer, but hiding behind a buzzword title to cope with being average just makes it worse. If you are not actually building or understanding AI systems at a deeper level then you are not an AI engineer, you are just a regular dev with a new name trying to ride hype
