More like architects, in the civil engineering sense. Even if you don't pour concrete or drive nails yourself, you have to have a lot of technical understanding, including the low level, to be able to design a building competently. And, very certainly, you have to be able to inspect how the nails are driven and how the bricks are laid, whether your contractors are humans or robots.

I create a lot of applications with AI. I don't inspect any of the cod.

  Maybe you should, something fishy may be going on in it.

    Maybe I shouldn't. Something fishy may not be going on in it, and that would become a waste of time.

      Full disclosure: it was a reference to the "cod" in your reply.

        That was a typo from a phone keyboard.

    No. I'm stating a fact. You're free to state other facts if you like.

As someone coming from non-software engineering (mechanical), I always believed that good engineer is capable, and sometimes does these things himself. This guarantees he actually understands his domain in all aspects.
