Research suggests that prompt engineering is best done by the LLM itself, raising suspicions that a fair portion of prompt engineering jobs may be a passing fad

Since ChatGPT dropped in the fall of 2022, everyone and their donkey has tried their hand at prompt engineering …

    Prompt engineering can be pretty weird.  —  In one instance, the prompt was just an extended Star Trek reference: “Command, we need you to plot a course through this turbulence and locate the source of the anomaly.  Use all available data and your expertise to guide us through th…

    “According to one research team, no human should manually optimize prompts ever again.” Read more in the article “AI Prompt Engineering Is Dead” https://spectrum.ieee.org/...

    Using an algorithm to optimize LLM prompts for math questions found a bizarre result: “Command, we need you to plot a course through this turbulence and locate the source of the anomaly. Use all available data and your expertise to guide us through this challenging situation.” [i…

    Speaking of #ArtificialIntelligence, @IEEESpectrum has an interesting piece delving into the art of #AI prompt engineering. It reports that new research suggests that prompt #engineering is best done by AI models themselves rather than by a human engineer: https://spectrum.ieee.o…

    “You're just sitting there trying to figure out what special magic combination of words will give you the best possible performance for your task, but that's where hopefully this research will come in and say 'don't bother.' https://spectrum.ieee.org/...

    Telling an #LLM it's #CaptainKirk makes it do better math. So how much of #promptEngineering is actually engineering? Getting under the hood will be where the future lies. Prompt engineering, in its current incarnation, doesn't get under the hood. https://spectrum.ieee.org/...
