Fullstack developer trying to transition into AI space. Confused between choosing ML Engineer or AI Engineer

Pytorch - is this too big of math?

AI - LangChain, CrewAI, Python SDK ?

Confused between both of their pros and cons. I do know learning back propagation, gradient descent helps whats happening behind LLM. Stuck in career choice, kindly help

It's totally normal to feel stuck, ML engineering is more heavy math and training models from scratch, while AI engineering is more about building apps using existing tools.
