However, there’s a significant limitation: the API is ostensibly read-only, or at least, that’s what the documentation would have you believe....

In the ongoing debate about the potential impact of AI on the job market, particularly within the technology sector, I believe it’s important to address the widespread concerns that AI might soon render certain professions obsolete. Among these, the role of engineers is often spotlighted, with many speculating that advanced AI systems (specifically generative AI) could one day replace human ingenuity in the field. As an engineer myself, I’d like to offer a perspective on why I believe this scenario is far from imminent, and why the role of engineers will remain crucial for the foreseeable future....
