Today, some IT coders contend that modern software, like MATLAB, Python, Julia, etc., make an ordinary IT coder a DSP expert, especially when assisted by AI code generators. Others believe DSP is just an API comprising a handful of functions. Some go so far as to claim that modern AI has rendered #DSP—that which #EEs have practised for almost 70 years—all but obsolete.
I do wonder, though, if any of these code cutters has ever looked at a typical #DSP library and say, "Yeah, piece of cake; I got this":
