My employer wants to rename all software developer positions to "prompt engineers". This is to emphasize our shift to be "AI-first".

It's so hard to tell whether these people are genuinely stupid, or just pretending to be because that's what they think will be rewarded (and the latter might be correct and a non-stupid thing to do!)
I wonder if anyone will include the "prompt engineer" in their CV/Resume. Otherwise, if one of the future employers decides to crosscheck a title that's anything different than what your current employer wants to call you, then it may lead to a credibility loss.
As long as the compensation goes up, they can call me whatever they want!
Run screaming, do not look back.
Is this a joke? It's so hard to tell these days.
Yikes. Good luck. Hope you've already started the job search.
