Don't sell your self short like that. I've been working since 2003 in engineering and I wouldn't trust anything that came out of an AI without confirming it with someone with a degree.
Additionally, think of AI as a librarian with photographic memory. It will never ask the right questions. Additionally its memory is influenced by what it has read and its not photographic is mixographic...it will remix any text you give it. Best it can do is not misspell words. Otherwise you can't trust anything it returns.
You on the other hand can do all sorts of knowledge gathering, inferring, etc and make knowledge based decisions rather than text based decisions.
That's because you care. Most of these companies don't. I think they've made that abundantly clear. But they are learning quickly.
Someone will have to. At our company we still have the glass seiling. But I'm pretty sure everyone knows that new people are pretty much useless so we have to grow them into someone useful. If they leave it hurts all the way up corporate. Try different companies and see if you can find one that cares. In my experience big companies really truly suck much. But they are stable for you to keep helping them. Small companies are stable and full of emotional problems. But that's my kind of people.
The problem is you are working in engineering and understand the limitations. The decision makers at corporate don't care, they see bonuses based on short term cost savings.
