So... People are actually using the term "prompt engineer"...

wait till people start calling it AI programmer

They did refer to people charged with vacuum cleaning PCs and reinstalling Windows as "programmers" too often in my childhood.

Though one of the reasons was that sometimes they filled both roles, and also had to look after plants.

No different than someone calling a janitor a "sanitation engineer". Fancy titles make people happy.

There are sandwich artists and sanitation engineers. Everyone knows they get paid like crap.

Unfortunately "prompt engineers" seem to be getting paid small fortunes when their job is essentially using a massive amount of computing power to commit various levels of intellectual property theft they hope no one will notice.
