An opinion piece argues that the current tech industry discourse, particularly in startups, incorrectly conflates affiliation with Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) development with fundamental technical worth. The author contends that this narrative, amplified by venture capitalists and AI companies, creates anxiety and devalues existing engineering skills. The piece draws on previous arguments that current AI development is architecturally incompatible with genuine intelligence and that AI systems provide knowledge and tools, not intelligence itself, which is contributed by the human user. AI
IMPACT Challenges the prevailing narrative that AGI development is the sole measure of an engineer's value, potentially influencing hiring and career development discussions.
