Is anyone instantly suspicious when they introduce themselves these days an "AI Developer"

Instant red flag. Like "Scrum master" used to be back in the day.

"AI engineer" is the new "Web developer".

There are some funny comments that use that term. This one’s my favorite. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25721837
