Agree with GoodnightLondon, those other jobs don't require or test for AI skills and you are expected to figure it out in the job. General Engineer 5 years at Google, zero AI experience will be chosen over Bootcamp Grad with two weeks of AI who knows what RAG is ... even for a role that is working on AI product!!!? I surveyed about a hundred ex Meta engineers about this and 90% said they don't care about AI skills when interviewing general engineers, even for product using AI.
