There is multiple levels of AI engineers:
1. The actual deep ML researchers that work on models 2. The "AI engineer" who creates products based on LLM's 3. The "AI researchers" who basically just stack LLM's together and call it something like Meta-Cognitive Chain-of-Thought Advanced Reasoning Inteligence or whatever it is.

I actually think that working purely within the traditional neural nets model is starting to hit against its limits and the most fruitful directions for research are systems that incorporate and modify LLMs on-line, among other systems, despite your unserious characterization of this class of research.
Why are there two research branches?
Seems like there's one AI engineer, which is b. The other two are researchers, one doesn't even focus on AI since ML covers a broader swath of disciplines.
