In case you all missed the last thread about writers getting replaced by ChatGPT, the gist of it is that the low-tier idiots who rewrite other web pages just enough to pass Grammarly plagiarism detection have realized that they are being replaced by ChatGPT.
The sub is having an existential crisis over it and posts range anywhere from "no really we're good and not replaceable" to "frick it, I'm out". Others are QQing that AI detectors are being used to tell clients that they are indeed useless.
Some of them have decided to pivot to making themselves sound v v v intelligent. The geniuses that call themselves writers have come up with a plan to call themselves prompt engineers because surely that will rake in the cash.
This crisis on this sub brings a new thread crying about ChatGPT every day and it's glorious.

that is true, but on the other hand it REALLY annoys actual engineers which I put as a check in the plus column

software engineer is an r-slured term but I call myself one just to piss off my actual engineer friend
it's incredibly funny when I do it when he's drunk and make him go on a 40 minute rant that inevitably devolves into some r-slurred shit

The irony is that modern engineers mostly use software and write code, as well. If CS programs included Differential Equations then non-software engineers wouldn't have much to complain about.

they actually have programs that are called "software engineering" now, or did and it's pretty much that: CS with more math and some non-software engineering classes like EE
