I just got hired as an “AI expert”… but I don’t feel like one

Hey everyone,

So… I just got hired as an AI expert, and honestly, I feel like a total impostor.
I can code, I understand the basics of machine learning and LLMs, I’ve built some projects, but when I hear the word expert, I can’t help but laugh (or panic a bit).

I see people on LinkedIn or Twitter posting crazy-deep stuff about embeddings, fine-tuning, vector databases, prompt engineering, and I’m like: “Okay, I know what those are… but I’m definitely not a researcher at OpenAI either.”

Basically, I’ve got a solid case of impostor syndrome. I keep thinking someone’s going to realize I’m not as good as they think I am.

Has anyone else been through this? How do you deal with being labeled an “expert” when you still feel like you’re figuring things out?
