AI engineers are in high demand - but what is the job really like?

[@geerliglecluse5297]

This video shows the purposes and some applications of AI, NOT "what the job is really like". No real engineering, no linear algebra / multidimensional vector models, no software engineering, no mention what engineering skills are required, etc. Would be more to the point to say this video shows everything BUT "what the job is really like"....

[@sirdiealot53]

Yeah it reminded me of kids all wanting to be streamers but not understanding the daily grind and roadblocks.

[@eman0828]

They also failed to show how AI is deployed and managed which all part of the LLM development process. You have a team of Platform Engineers, Cloud Engineers, Data Scientist, DevOps Engineers aka MLOps Engineers all working together. MLOps is the new DevOps of AI for LLM delivery that builds pipelines to automate the testing, fine tuning of the models and deploys them to a kubernetes cluster.

[@geerliglecluse5297]

@@eman0828 All very true. The points I mentioned only serve to demonstrate how misleading the title of this video is.

Need to study Machine Learning - Pandas, Numpy, Pytorch, Tensorflow, ComputerVision, LLMs, Langchain. OpenAI AND THE REST - these are the "MUST".

[@eman0828]

@@reginaldosano6593 That all depends on the role. There are different types of AI roles. You have MLOp Engineers which are DevOps Engineers. They don't design or train modeld. They build pipelines, test, validate and deploy models already created by ai engineers. And then you have data scientist. It's too broad of a field just like Cyber Security with a lot of specialities. You don't need to know the hard core math and science for MLOps that ai engineers and data scientist need to know.

[@theguypersondude]

Any background is useful when creating an LLM. Having a topic of interest can be optimized by developing an LLM to resolve common or complex issues within that industry. More diversity of backgrounds can improve LLM's application.

[@starsoffyre]

I was in the same team in one of the projects featured here. Truth about many "AI Engineer" jobs - you're just creating apps that are wrappers around LLMs/Vision models like the OpenAI, Claude, Stable Diffusion. Write some API calls, do "prompt engineering", and then ship the fancy looking app. I'm not an AI Engineer though, I'm a Solutions Architect. But we often wear double hats. Most of my work is still infra. I've already forgotten most of the fundamentals of ML and Statistics, don't need to know them when working with GenAI.

[@NightXof]

@@starsoffyre some of the peeps here are commenting on how aspiring to become a developer is a waste of time because AI is gonna replace software developers/engineers. Would it be wrong of me if I ask your take on it ?

[@starsoffyre]

@@NightXof I don't think AI is gonna replace software engineering anytime soon. It's great for writing boilerplate code, but it's not close to being able to understand the nuances of complex software engineering problems in business today. That said, if it accelerates the productivity of developers today, then in theory companies can hire fewer. So while software engineering as a profession won't die anytime soon, it may not be in as strong in demand as it was in its heyday. Do I think people should still learn how to code? Yeah, I think the skills you get from knowing how to logically break down problems and implementing them is useful. But it's probably also best supplemented with a broad skillset.

Looking at AI as a career switch is demanding because AI is not software engineering. But AI needs software engineers . Makes sense?. You help mathematicians build software, not the other way around. So please don't see AI as a mere switch . It's a disgrace to those AI engineers .

Whatever current AI engineers say, in the long term, it is going to replace many tech jobs for sure. Obviously, generative AI tools increase efficiency, which means tasks require less time, and therefore fewer employees. You can see what is going to happen.
