"We believe every developer can be an AI engineer with the right tools and training [...] GitHub is the creator network for the age of AI. [...] Just in the last year, more than 100K generative AI projects were created on GitHub. [...] In the years ahead, we will continue to democratize access to AI technologies to generate a groundswell of one billion developers."

If I've learned one thing in the software industry, then that with a sufficiently creative definition of the word 'engineer' everything is possible. It feels like every week the AI "industry" turns more into some sort of cursed influencer economy. I guess if you've got to explain to your shareholders how you're gonna make the 10 billion back you spent on graphics cards you gotta be optimistic.

I find the gatekeeping of the term engineer a much more interesting phenomena. People planning, building, launching things are engineering things.
