An AI engineer wires up APIs to each other and returns the result as JSON, the same process as any other web dev.

Like any other web dev job there are differences across domains that can make it valuable to hire someone with past experience in your particular industry (in this case LLMs), but the only reason this gets a brand new title and others don't is hype.

So much less complicated than your average web developer job in 2024?

If you're only doing backend AI work, yeah, probably.
