That's why the word "engineer" is in the title and it isn't "prompt writer" or "ChatGPT user".

It's highly unlikely that anyone taking this effort seriously is copying and pasting from ChatGPT, rather than using the API and building pipelines as part of a broader system.

Instruction-fine-tuned LLMs like ChatGPT require creating, validating, and maintaining prompts. Finding ways to use them safely is also not easy - prompt injection and hallucination are just 2 potential pitfalls - there are many more.

Denigrating this effort as "AI monkey" is myopic at best, but really just comes across as a signal that someone is terrified of being replaced by this new tech. With that attitude, they will be.
