- AlexCoventry 4y agoYeah, this seems a lot like calling management "mandate engineering" or something. You don't really understand the processes by which it's working, so referring to anything related to a using LLM to get useful outputs as "engineering" seems a bit high-flown.
- pixl97 4y agoUm, I think you may be slightly confused about many physical processes and how they are engineered. There are plenty of problems where we understand that if we do A between the bounds of (X and Y) then everything works, and if we go out of those bounds things break. When building the process you don't have to understand why A works at all as long as you stay in those bounds, you just have to design the process either not to exceed them or to stop and give a warning if it does.
- AlexCoventry 4y agoI'm engineering this conversation with you right now.

- int_19h 4y agoYeah, but we already did it with software engineering.
