Crazy title! But I dunno but I've seen the "Proud AI Engineer" title everywhere... but a lot of what I see is just guys who are: - Writing prompts in ChatGPT - Making images on Midjourney - Using GitHub Copilot A recent article I read called this "The Delusion Epidemic," and it dropped this brutal truth: "Using AI doesn't make you an AI engineer any more than using Microsoft Word makes you a software engineer." Ouchiiie.. The article argues there's a VAST gap between AI Users (Consumers) and AI Engineers (Builders). Here's the quick-and-dirty breakdown. Be honest... which camp are you in? CAMP 1: The AI User (The "Consumer") - Your AI work happens inside ChatGPT/Claude/Midjourney. - You're skilled at writing prompts to get the result you want. - You use pre-built tools and simple API calls (import openai). - You've never trained a model from scratch or debugged a data pipeline. - You use prebuilt n8n workflows and claim they are yours. CAMP 2: The AI Engineer (The "Builder") - You build the full application around the AI (the UI, backend, database). - You design and build APIs (e.g., using FastAPI, Node.js, etc.). - You're focused on the system architecture (e.g., using Supabase, AWS, or GCP) to make it work. - You handle production issues like security, scalability, and cost. - You're building the actual SaaS product that users interact with. This isn't about shaming anyone! Being a skilled AI User is a critical, high-value skill right now. But the article argues that the job security, impact, and (let's be real) the potential income are worlds apart. We're talking $100 vs. $100k+. So, let's talk about it. Which of these honestly describes you right now?

Stop Lying on LinkedIn. Are You an AI Engineer or Just a Good Prompt Writer?

Honesty, if you were a prompt engineer in early 2024 you would have had some alpha... now people can do meta prompting, and get the job done. The only thing that might count is some experience. Nothing else. And calling yourself an AI engineer when you've never actually built a model is like calling yourself a connoisseur when you're just a conman.

Why Your Prompts are Terrible

If your AI outputs feel generic, off-topic, or just wrong… the problem is likely your prompt structure, not the AI itself. In this beginner-friendly video, I’ll show you: - The most common prompt mistakes people make (and why they lead to weak results) - How to write powerful, structured prompts that deliver high-converting AI output - My 3-part framework for crafting prompts that generate better conversations, emails, automations, and sales responses - Real examples from inside my agency and automation projects Whether you're building AI voice agents or chatbots with Genesai, automating, or just using ChatGPT for your business, fixing your prompts is the fastest way to unlock better performance.

Thanks, Jerry! People underestimate the value of a good prompt. This is why people have frameworks for these things. Because the more information you provide in your directive the better the output will be. Inputs, Functions and Outputs.

It seems like it's taking whatever you're feeding it from the output of the AGent, and stringifying it. Are you doing that in the Response? Or is it being done on the frontend? Can you show us how you're setting up your Webhook response? I'll show you an example of how I set up mine. So what I did here, was simple. I set up n object in my Webhook Response that looks like this: { "status": "success", "data": { "response": {{ JSON.stringify($json.output) }}, "sessionId": "{{ $('Edit Fields').item.json.sessionId }}", "timestamp": "{{ $now }}" } } And then on the other side, I set it up such that it only maps the response and takes that as the text it's trying to display.

@Mirko Salzer I think he might mean Microsoft word document. There isn't a specific integration for Microsoft Word. But you can still create documents. Let me run you through a workaround. 1. Create a Google Doc instead. 2. Use a Google Drive Node to download the file as a pdf (or store a link to the publicly accessible file to use it later) 3. Run that through an online conversion API (convert from PDF to Docx) 4. Store that in your Onedrive or Google drive.

Finally. cURL Support for HTTP Request Tool.

I've always wondered why you couldn't import a curl command when you were setting up an HTTP request for an AI agent. Thank goodness we finally have it here. Curl commands are the best. Check it out
