AI Engineers Then vs Today

AI engineers 4 years ago Builds & trains CNN for image classification Uses logistic regression for churn prediction Optimizes a random forest for fraud detection Uses LSTM for sentiment analysis AI engineers today ChatGPT will classify my sentence Let’s dump our DB into ChatGPT My API key got autocompleted by GPT We can trust the LLM with our private data

A two-part meme contrasts AI engineers four years ago, shown as muscular and technically competent, with AI engineers today, shown as distressed Wojak-like figures relying on ChatGPT and GPT-generated code. The joke mocks how modern AI work is portrayed as outsourcing tasks to large language models while risking database privacy and API key security. It is used as a sarcastic reaction to overreliance on AI tools.
