[Thread] Why “Prompt Engineering” will die 💀 and what you can learn from it 🧐🚀

Yeah, you heard it right. Whatever these “gurus” and course scammers are shilling in the name of prompt engineering and crores of salary is 💩. Heads up, companies are already working on augmenting prompts using Natural Language Generation techniques which build on top of Generative techniques like GPT and other Transformer based Architectures. This is exactly the same as when Search Engines came out and you had to know the right queries to search for to get the answer, perhaps use flags like “site:wikipedia.com” Do we have anything like a Search Query Engineer? As things advance, the human edge of refining prompts will be automated to the highest degrees. Perhaps, Subject Matter Experts will guide for commercial or enterprise level use cases but apart from that…. NO! You will not become rich by becoming a Prompt Engineer. Perhaps, now is the time to look at the next frontiers of AI and work on the cutting edge, that’s the best way to future-proof.

I didn't know there was a Data Science community in grapevine 💀 Also fully agree with your post. Prompt engineering is not a real job, it's 🤡

@SaneTile21 No resources, meh. Just log onto it and start using. You will automatically understand what it’s like and how it works. Everyone is incessantly making it harder than it is. If you want to learn how to use it in development then go look at the OpenAI docs and start your journey building things with it. Don’t go for anything else, it’s subpar.

Some influencers are selling courses and pivoting their entire content on prompt engineering. Everytime something new comes up, the grifters flock like vultures preying on gullible people

Powered by Ad Spend on Social Media ofc. You should be allowed to like or dislike an ad on YouTube tbh. Like, atleast these crappy con artists don’t get to scam.

Not to mention, most of the "super" prompts aren't even effective after a while. AI is constantly changing and so are the filters and safeguards that prevent people from accessing features or data that they shouldn't. True prompt engineering will be a niche challenge only enthusiasts will engage in. Most others will use what is readily available.

@RationalIndian I think you are onto something. But I am pretty sure that companies will make even the most bland prompts work in the backend via augmentation.

Of course, Microsoft probably has a lot more functionality available to them internally compared to what's available on Bing or ChatGPT. Commoners will never get access to it unless they train their own models with their own data (which is also happening btw). Open source models might just beat Bard and GPT very soon. It's going to be an interesting competition for sure.

I don't understand why people opt for paid courses when there are so many open source resources available. Prompt engg is a lot like googling, just like you need to know the right words to get the search result, you need to structure prompt in a certain way. Which i can assure, one can learn automatically after using it for sometime. Plus if you need resources, this is more than enough: https://www.promptingguide.ai/

@Lord Something snake oil salesman call. Essentially, creating a “good” prompt to get desired response.

Prompt Engineers

Hey guys, I was doing a course on Data Science and analytics with AI and came across this Prompt engineering thing. Is anyone already working on it? I have started learning it through an online course. Can anyone help me with real-time project ideas on it or guide me more (related to communities,talks, etc.)

[Hot Take] AI will make SWEs redundant, PMs and Marketers will become the most important job

It’s clear that companies won’t need engineers 10 years from now. They’ll just need people who know what to make. Who to sell to. How to sell to. At what price. This will be the great commoditization of Software development Take it or leave it.

Jobs which will be created /not impacted by AI

A lot of noise around AI taking coding jobs, which i fear might be real. Like not completely but you get my point. So how should one upskill themselves (especially the average folks, top 1/2% will not be affected in any field imo) for the upcoming shift? Like will data analytics/science or maybe ai/ml engineering jobs be on rise ? Should be start upskilling in those fields or any other suggestions? I would really like to know it from someone who has good experience in the industry or someone with good insight. Thanks
