This person just called me a gatekeeper when just our definitions of what an AI Engineer is different... all while discussing the ambiguities of the term "AI Engineer".
Well, that's the internet for you!
My intentions were never of gatekeeping, our definitions of the term are wildly different. I laid the beginning part of a roadmap for a person who wants to solve problems that exist in the real world with Deep Learning- by choosing how to structure data, training models with existing architectures (and optimizers, loss functions, activation functions, and so on) and creating new ones from scratch- and to deploy them to solve the problem in the physical space.
Although, I have not spent hours on what the term "AI Engineer" should mean, it is not prompt engineering to me. If there is a consensus in future on the term meaning prompt engineering, then I will not give any advice on that, because I don't know much. Neither will I fight the definition.
My definition, still is the person who develops new kinds of microwaves as opposed to the author's whose definition is that of a cook who uses the microwave, by creating new recipes and dishes. That's fine, but didn't liked being called a gatekeeper.
- swyx 3y agoapologies for that - it came from a friend who was reviewing that HN thread and used that word - but it was my choice to repeat that word in my writeup. I didnt take your feelings into account when using what I knew to be a loaded word, and in retrospect it did nothing to further the strength of my argument at all. I'm sorry. I've removed it.
- __rito__ 3y agoThank you so much. As I mentioned, my definition was just different. And I didn't even mean to gatekeep. My spirit was: "if I can do it, many more people definitely can, too". So I went on and shared an outline of my journey. That's all. No hard feelings.
