Machine learning/LLM actually was around 10 years ago, it just didn't have the farcical "AI" moniker.

Yeah. The groundbreaking “Attention Is All You Need” paper, in which transformer architecture was proposed, was published 9 years ago. It was obviously part of a much longer running conversation around how to use linear algebra to find machine learning applications. If you’re looking for someone who understands the underlying math and processes at a lower level, this isn’t an unreasonable ask. It is, however, an unreasonable ask of someone for a “prompt engineer” job though.
