Ah yeah, if I ask a company to design and build me a bridge, I'm a bridge engineer!

Anyone can buy a table saw. Doesn't make you a carpenter and it doesn't mean you can/should build anything.

That usually requires a 3 to 5 year degree, and possibly professional exam.

Having the AI do the work doesn't make one an engineer.

Just like one doesn't become a writer by owning a typewriter or a word processor.
