Stop Learning Prompt Engineering... Do This Instead

🏆 My Skool Community (w/all automations, workflows, etc) rickmulready.c...
In this video, you'll learn:
- why trying to master prompt engineering right now is a waste of time.
- The actual “AI skills” you should focus on if you want to get better, more helpful outputs from AI.
I don't even think you should focus on prompt engineering in 2024 and moving forward.
Do you agree?

Yes the word will become more important. I tried once to generate art with the AI program then I realise this generative AI will still need someone that knows about the niche area to ask the right questions

[@MeowtualRealityGamecat]

What you are saying is so clear to me now. Thinking about it, for instance, if I were to write Python by myself, the programming would have to be correct, but more importantly, clear to get the program to output exactly what I want. The best part I find with AI is that I actually enjoy the back-and-forth to get to a satisfactory conclusion.

[@RickMulready]

Exactly. 🤙

[@mikeg3810]

I’m about to start learning prompt engineering. Thanks .

[@RickMulready]

Nice, glad the vid's helpful!

[@Reverie_State78]

This guy advises against prompt engineering and then literally advises us to prompt engineer.😂... You can't make this sh*t up.

[@RickMulready]

Thanks for watching and taking time out of your day to comment! Kind of missed the point of the video, eh? Feel free to shoot over any questions, happy to simplify even further for ya. 👍

[@prozacsf84]

there is a difference between prompt engineering (write better understandable prompts for LLM) and improving the self ability to express information, huh

[@Lucas_Machado]

Today, Prompt Engineering is less about a hard skill to understand the machine and more about the soft skill to properly comunicate. Know what and how to ask still important, but as the tech advances, the machines got better in understand the nuances of the prompt.

[@tracywilliams7929]

Call me old fashioned but I will rely on my prompt engineering skills 😉

[@jerrysamuels1113]

Prompt engineering is hardly old fashion.

[@mommyof4grlz]

I believe a hybrid method is the most useful way to go about it due to how easy it is to cause the AI to get confused in the information between sessions. Also the more back and forth the easier it is to accidentally cause AI to make incorrect associations and return less if not completely useless responses.

[@RickMulready]

Yeah! Excellent point.

[@ChigozieNwachukwu]

First here, my friend... AI my new found love

[@nahiddotai]

Nice one, Rick cool video. I think there's a few things you missed here like prompting frameworks that help create better output depending on the task. For me, I realise that their will always be new prompt generators but what I aim to do with what I'm building is not only create a prompt for the user but educate them on why that specific prompt is better for their use case

[@RickMulready]

Appreciate it. I do hear you and right now having a basic understanding of prompt engineering is helpful, but moving forward it will be less and less of a necessary skill as we’ll just be able to ask a (specific) question and the models will be smart enough to do it. 🙌

[@nahiddotai]

@@RickMulready I hear what you're saying, AI is getting much better at understanding what we want. Although, even if there is some structure or format used then the AI will be able to provide closer to what we want and quicker without having to re prompt it

[@theEnlightenedpsychologist]

Riick what do you think of the new Chat model ???

[@RickMulready]

Check out this video I put out over the weekend --> kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaKUgKuXpLCCsMU

[@Lexie-bq1kk]

And NVidia CEO thinks we should stop teaching kids how to program. These wide sweeping bold statements and claims are so click baity. So very click baity.

[@nexusphreez]

Just so everyone knows, prompt engineering, whatever you want to call it, is actually very important right now. Whether you're dealing with image generation, video generation, llms etc. You have to be able to know how to break down a problem and word it to the AI. These AI systems are not to the point where they can pick up on minor little linguistic nuances that we take for granted. In a lot of cases you really need to break it down step by step in your prompt what it is You want. So yes this title is very much clickbait.

[@proflead]

Agree! Thanks!

[@rakumarudu81]

Is there an alternative to anthropic for prompt generation? It is a paid tool

[@faziz28]

Umm, to me this sounds like strategic prompt engineering.

[@Lexie-bq1kk]

Click Bait

[@louisviciedo]

so basically we need to learn prompt engineering?

[@Lexie-bq1kk]

yes

[@nexusphreez]

So what you're saying is we need to learn prompt engineering?

[@pringlized]

Ya, I'm that what it sounds like. The same thing with a different name using another tool.

[@masternmargarita]

It's what you call 'opinionated charlatanism'

[@jjerrik]

Ok, but isn't clearly articulating your ask and defining the context the very definition of prompt engineering?

[@IAMTHESWORDtheLAMBHASDIED]

lol yeah, I got that too. we're right don't worry lol.

[@RickMulready]

Is it? I look at prompt engineering as refining a prompt in a specific format (ie: chain of thought, or multi shot) and formatting as such. The point is that needing to understand these skills is becoming less and less important.

[@pringlized]

@@RickMulready I'm new to the game and trying to understand. I see your rationale, but I'm confused as to why these skills are becoming less and less important. Can you explain? Thanks for the great video.

[@Toyinsbello]

What’s the link for anthropics console? There’s no link in the description.

[@laurj00]

Did you endup getting the link?

[@Toyinsbello]

@@laurj00 yes thank you!

[@seemamaheshwari40]

Thanks for this interesting video @RickMulready! How to get a link for anthropics console?

[@phillipwilliamnewton193]

So stop prompt engineering and instead better engineer your prompts.

[@nikhilrevalla9351]

“Stop learning prompt engineering…” Goes on to teach prompt engineering.

[@p.l.1472]

...we should have paid attention to those English classes

[@KalmanNotarius]

In short you think humanitarians will be mostly useful to the task😊 because thry know how to explain themselves.

[@breyonbradford3404]

Definitely clickbait and quite inaccurate. If you really knew what prompt engineering was at a higher level, you would understand how powerful it is… Even with these new models. As a matter of fact, it’s even more valuable.

[@JustAThought01]

So we have verbal prompting? Which is the direction of interacting with our modern computer systems.

[@vijay1909]

Very true!!!

[@muhammadrazyf7722]

Actually, you are teaching back how to prompt the prompt?! Sounds like zero content here to stop learning prompt. That is why we say "prompt engineering" when using Ai tools.

[@memetokentv]

That's why i don't follow the crowd you all don't think like a human. Your talking to an entity humans are slow in thinking he will not progress past prompting. Think about it you can have another ai write the prompts 😅😅😅 they waisted allot of time assuming

[@_P.K.]

No. See, if I am able to clearly imagine and articulate my question then why would I need another AI to generate a prompt to put this prompt in other AI to get the final output? So, you are saying we need to use AI to use AI.

[@Bengaleze]

PE's will always be able to extract superior data or convince the model to take an action vs someone without PE techniques.

[@masternmargarita]

So, you're saying forget PE in favor of PE, because what you're suggesting is PE.

[@Lexie-bq1kk]

awful

[@immanuelg1]

The title is clickbait

[@RickMulready]

It’s exactly what the video is about. Appreciate you stopping by!

[@jpsl5281]

@@RickMulreadyit’s not clickbait. It’s just a very debatable point. I don’t totally agree with you but great video It’s true that for simple and maybe mid complex task you don’t have to use prompt engineering but for more complex tasks like making a model act in certain way and follow a rubric, Prompt engineering is required for good results

[@Reverie_State78]

​@@RickMulready it's totally click. The models are smarter and our instructions are simpler, it's still prompt engineering 😂

[@KT-dj4iy]

Your comment is clickbait

[@meandover7921]

Why is it “clickbait?”
