   That is partly to save money. The individuals are supposed   
   to be instantly productive. They're "interchangeable parts".   
   One drops dead, use the same precise spec, off you go again.   
      
   And you can do that in mature industries.   
      
   If you were building an AI team today, I bet you would use a different set of   
   criteria for that. "Do you have any experiences at all, whatsoever   
   in AI?" would be the kind of question they would ask. And they   
   would mop up the candidates who even remotely resembled that role.   
   There would not be a line on the requisition "Must know Microsoft Office",   
   which is a popular bit of silliness.
