did mathematicians get pressured to stop reviewing their work? skip verification because it was slowing down shipping? do things outside their job description (cough design, product management) and stop collaborating with their colleagues because "velocity" demanded it? If you are doing the same job as yesterday with the same safeguards 30x faster good for you, keep calling yourself an engineer. If you are like me and a lot of others out there pushing slop out the door with more and more incidents weekly and forgetting what good software dev looks like, stop pretending.

It probably depends on the job. There is huge variance across the industry as far as what people are working on. I don't work with top talent and I'm very happy with the results compared to human coworkers. I've found the secret is detailed architecture plans in advance. These models are in their infancy and if you aren't happy with the output yet I'd wager they catch up to your needs faster than expected.
