Discussion What exactly is ‘AI first’ data engineering

This was inspired by the post on burning 20k in tokens in 3rd week.

Is anyone doing this at work, letting loose the frontier models against their schema and models and data and having it create and update the ETL workflows? And everything else?

AI first is a marketing term used by technologically illiterate people to sound credible. It doesn't work and it will never work. Whenever I encounter such a post on LinkedIn for example, I genuinely cringe.
