I want to agree with this, but after reading the whole article, I have no idea what the skills of an AI Engineer are.

Why is that not the job of a software/product engineer?

> none of the highly effective AI Engineers I named above have done the equivalent work of the Andrew Ng Coursera courses, nor do they know PyTorch, nor do they know the difference between a Data Lake or Data Warehouse

they're explicitly not trained in ML/AI. any software engineer can write a good prompt, call an API, and deploy that on an http server.

why is that not just software/product engineering?
