Yes, one way to think of it that I think is very useful is that all software engineers who have embraced AI agents as the core tool through which they design, build, and solve practical real-world problems are agentic engineers...with an emphasis in software engineering.

The background in software engineering is incredibly useful, currently, especially as a means to judge the evidence that the agents present attesting to the correctness of the solution.

Do I feel bad about misusing the engineering term? Maybe...but am I misusing it? How do you define engineering? If using science, math, logic, and technology to solve practical real-world problems is engineering...then?

It's even supposed to mean this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50302599
