Many people with no skills are taking advantage of the LLM craze to artificially inflate their own value. I see it every day on LinkedIn.

People that previously have barely any experience in tech, now being hired in AI startups because they are good bullshitters.

Countless directors and managers are now cosplaying as engineers. I've seen so many myself and that's just my tiny slice of this engineering world

Engineers cosplay as physicists and mathematicians every day. What's your point? Think of it pragmatically. If they can do the job they can do the role.

I heard the term "Sloperator" a few times. Quite fitting...
This isn't new due to AI, just amplified.
