Have been interested in this stuff for years. Did my CS project with NN just before everyone started using GPU's ,and a short DS course more recently. Seeing all the marketing people move into space with their prompt cheat sheets on LinkedIn while many tech people are ,ironically, locked out by blackbox recruitment algorithms is maddening.(This particular problem goes far beyond tech jobs though).
Some also seem to be mixing up DS and DE roles a bit, one of the few times I got an interview I had end it and apologize as what they were looking for was a data engineer.
Another was listed as a machine learning role ,when I got the offer it was travelling tech support and paid less. With the promise of undefined ML work later.
Some companies are just tacking irrelevant ML and AI stuff onto job descriptions.
Also so many live coding tests , and that one weird recruiter asking about "skeletons in closets"
