"We pretend human engineering is flawless. It isn’t."

To err... I mean, *engineer*... to engineer is human!

I see it as an evolution where the hype is screaming revolution. Like job interviews for AI Engineer on the applications side are pretty much "do you know how to use an API" and "have you done evaluations of LLM output". Pretty basic stuff for any engineer.

Still, the fact that everything should be checked and there are new tools and capabilities, must mean some level of human-in-the-loop engineering.

Some stuff will be shed, no doubt. Certain skills are already devalued, sure. But, like grief, everyone will have to do their time in the cycle before they can move on.
