Prompt engineering according to ChatGPT
Not long now and even Windows Notepad has a built-in chatbot. The number of announcements of integration of AI tools in software and services has been so high in recent months that it is easy to imagine that we will be able to invoke generative AI in every piece of software in the foreseeable future. What cloud was before 2010, AI is before 2023: everyone should have it.
How to deal with that properly is verse two. After all, AI chatbots can produce good and useful answers, but it is also quite possible that you will end up with answers that do not meet your expectations.
Prompt engineering is the skill of entering prompts in the best possible way so that you get what you want out of it. In addition to being a useful skill, it can also become part of their job for many people. Now that AI tools will be included in more and more software that people use in their work, dealing with them will become increasingly important.
However? Because while prompt engineering sounds like a useful skill for anyone dealing with software, in fact anyone, it should be the other way around. If chatbots are as good with natural language as they are supposed to be, then prompt engineering shouldn’t exist, right?
You could call prompt engineering a little hype. It would take little time to learn and you could get jobs that bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Still, as with any hype, there are plenty of caveats.
