ffs, can we just not make this a thing?

Too late, a demographic or people who could just barely scrape together a script making REST requests are now selling themselves as “AI specialists” or “prompt engineers” to the corporate class. These are this cycles cryptobros, who were mostly not engineers but people riding a hype wave.

The age of the AI bro is here, and as I’ve been in the space as someone genuinely interested in the models, working with them from time to time, for a while. I’m giving a lot of eye rolls in meetings when these people start talking about the underlying tech.

“Prompt engineers”… sigh.

Some complex shell prompts I've seen people use definitely must have required a fair bit of engineering!

Booming industries always attracts its fair share of snake oil peddlers I suppose. From "Webmasters" who could barely program a VCR during the dot-com era to "SEO specialists" to "Crypto bros" and now "AI bros".

Too late, the AI bros already did.

It's a thing lol

The other day I saw some gym bro in the IG comment section trying to flex on people with "do you even know what backpropagation is?"
