    Anyone can buy a table saw. Doesn't make you a carpenter and it doesn't mean you can/should build anything.

      In case you yourself do not own a table saw, I should point out that table saws don't rip, cut, or mill stock for you. It's like saying "buying a hammer doesn't make you a carpenter".

    Yeah, right.

    That usually requires a 3 to 5 year degree, and possibly professional exam.

    Having the AI do the work doesn't make one an engineer.

    Just like one doesn't become a writer by owning a typewriter or a word processor.

      Among other reasons, one doesn't become a writer by owning a typewriter because typewriters don't write for you.

    Ah yeah, if I ask a company to design and build me a bridge, I'm a bridge engineer!

    Yes comrade, we are all equalizing for three people to become multi-trillionaires.

    The level of propaganda reaches Maoist proportions.
