[@blakehuntington8349]

lol for real. This man is a fool hahaha

[@aiforculture]

I'm sure Michael's great at what he does (and this isn't about being negative), but as an AI educator myself quite a lot of this was said with a degree of absolutism which I'd suggest really doesn't fit. Each model and each generation of model handles prompts slightly differently - there are not really absolute principles, and even if there were, the whole point of AI is that it wraps around human behaviour. It would be antithetical for these companies to produce tools which required specialised training to use effectively, so with every generation of new tools the landscape of 'prompt engineering' will be entirely different. It's not SEO.

[@LightningLion500]

Yeah, I've worked with big LLM's and as a "prompt engineer" you just try to poke the AI, see if something good comes out and then document it lol.

[@mjt145]

Personally I think the line between prompting and prompt engineering is when you're testing multiple versions of a prompt hundreds of time and running formal evaluation metrics.

[@MechanicaMenace]

​@@mjt145what do you do about the random elements? Just use fixed seeds? Run the same prompt on every possible seed? Just not worry about it and hope a prompt works just as well no matter the seed? I've not worked with LLMs but have worked with other AI that involves a lot of multiplication and a "bad seed" can really throw a spanner in the works.

[@mjt145]

@@MechanicaMenace usually I run each prompt I'm testing 30-100 times across multiple test cases that are known to cause issues in the past, then run an evaluation metric across all of the responses to get an average score.

[@arstotzkanplaguedoctor]

lmao

[@britneyc6731]

Honestly, before looking it up I thought prompt engineering was another way to refer to the people who developed the AI/large language models (i.e like another term for a software developer). If what this guy said at the beginning is the main point of his job, testing different prompts to see what the AI spits out, then would it really fall under engineering? His like an A/B tester/ maybe quality management?

[@schok51]

He insinuates that he writes code too. So really it's a specialization in "software engineering".

[@mayaneko1094]

In the end they need to be at least as good as the real engineers which they replace, because they need to correct all the mistakes the AI makes anyway (and often taking even longer in doing so, especially when it comes to programming). They're just using the AI-stuff to get easier into jobs.

[@mjt145]

​@@schok51yes that's closer to it. It's like calling yourself a front end engineer or python engineer or whatever. I do write code - my O'Reilly book is for developers but this segmented was targeting at a non technical audience

[@GrumpDog]

It takes a lot more skill, and effort in fine tuning, than the vast majority of people can manage. And there's a lot more to it than most people even seem to realize. It can involve code, or frameworks for how an Agent will behave, and a lot of thought has to go into wording and be thoroughly tested. As someone who's a CAM engineer, and now uses AI, I can say it is indeed an engineering skill. There's a lot of nuanced applications for prompt engineering, outside of AI art.

[@reinventingai]

That's a common misconception. Natural language processing is the future of computing. Prompt engineering will play a key role to identify the best ways to construct and convey instructions for the best possible outcomes. It is very much an advanced skill. Just look at the Claude 3.5 sonnet system prompt to see what real prompt engineering mastery looks like.

If you ask artists in general what is the hardest thing to draw: it's hands. 😊

[@starfilledsky2810.]

Actually, not for me - mine is head shapes/angles. wait I'm not trying to be pretentious btw Hands are hard for generative AI because when a human draws them, they're thinking of the 3D planes of the hand and where they are in the space they're drawing/what parts are hidden, what parts are shown (perspective). AI does not think of this or the perspective of said planes - they simply see what certain bundle of pixels is apparently what object and copy it wherever it should go. TLDR: Artists can imagine the hand as a 3D object, but the AI can't, so it makes some really weird stuff a lot of the time.

This was a poor choice of expert. This guy's background is in growth marketing, and somehow he wrote a textbook for O'Reilly on prompt engineering. I would much rather have an ml scientist explain how to optimize prompts based on how the generative AI model interprets them, than whatever effectively uninformed opinions this guy is sharing.

[@cindella204]

Exactly - I'd be interested in hearing someone who works for OpenAI share their perspective on how to best optimize your interactions with ChatGPT based on how it's developed. (Or pick another LLM.) I've experimented a lot just as a technology-inclined writer who is curious about AI, and it seems like the techniques applied here are not much different than mine.

[@mjt145]

Ml engineers tend to focus on fine-tuning rather than prompting. I did run a growth marketing agency but I left in 2020 the same year I got GPT-3 access which is basically the earliest anyone could have become a prompt engineer. 😅

+ prompt engineering is really not the most interesting part of ai. like ideally, good ai would not require prompt engineering to begin with bc it just knows what you're looking for intuitively + prompt engineering basically has no consistency across even different versions of the same model, much less different models

There's a lot more nuance to it than the commenters are assuming. In many cases you're targeting specific weaknesses, trying to anticipate potential user intent (including negative intent), different types of reasoning, etc. It requires a great deal of thought to generate meaningful data.
