Engineers are fundamentally pragmatic people. We're problem solvers. Someone who only cares about ingenuity and craft would be a shitty engineer, because that perspective is entirely inward-facing and not directed at the problems at hand. I think this is fundamentally my problem with your question, and I think if you framed the question slightly differently with this in mind, it would make more sense.

To attempt to answer it, I think there are many engineers who care deeply about creativity, ingenuity, and craft, because those are key qualities (among others) needed to solve real-world problems. The question you hinted at is whether LLMs are compatible with that, and I think more people are asking those types of questions now.
