Slapping 'engineering' on something to try and trade on the good name of real engineers is the express lane to losing all of your credibility. Guess I should get ahead of the curve and update my title to Slop Surgeon.
No one should be allowed to use "engineering" in the context of producing something with LLMs until they learn to say "No, I'll not help you cut corners on this, and if you persist I will report you".
If you're fine with an AI designed bridge, where the builder tweaked the prompt to get the LLM to suggest cutting out all safety features, then okay, go with vibe engineering.
my tongue-in-cheek job title has been 'professional string concatenator' for a long time now
