A discussion on Reddit's r/MachineLearning suggests that the roles of data scientists and machine learning engineers are increasingly being redefined as AI engineers. The original poster argues that the focus has shifted from fundamental model development and data understanding to fine-tuning existing models and building systems around them. This shift, while economically sensible due to the capital-intensive nature of working with large models, is seen by some as devaluing the core scientific aspects of data science. AI
IMPACT Suggests a potential shift in career paths and skill emphasis for AI/ML professionals, moving towards engineering over core model development.
