Prompt Engineer? Based on this video a more accurate title would be “Prompt Writer” at best! And even that’s being generous because I would barely even call this Copywriting.
Real Engineers don’t go into engineering school, get their degree, and learn to design and build the technology of the future so their title can just be throw around by anyone in the job market!
As the AI hype dies down and the technology gets regulated, there is still no universe where a prompt engineer can call themselves an “Engineer.”

Any tips for getting useable niche Code out of LLMs, and which (free) LLM is best for the task?
I sometimes need bits of obscure “dialects” of lua 5.1 Code for use in Game-modding.
I’ve tried ChatGPT numerous times, and used very concise prompts; everything it gives me looks good, but doesn’t actually function properly.
The new (limited) version of ChatGPT really seemed like it properly understood the task and was giving me good Code, but it ended up being junk too.
Am I just asking too much of the current LLMs, is the task just too niche/obscure?
Or is there a fancy prompt trick I can use to force the use of a very specific Coding Language “dialect”?

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.

@zTangy
August 4, 2024 at 12:46 am
The reason AI can’t draw hands well has nothing to do with physics. The models creating AI images don’t even know what a “hand” is. Its likely due to the complexity/small details of hands and how human hands can look very different in different positions / holding different things. This added complexity would require more training and or data for hands to become better.
@omaristephens2143

For folks who aren’t a fan of “prompt engineering” — how do you feel about “social engineering” as a field? Is it a reasonable name? Is it possible for someone to be an expert at social engineering? Would a social engineering expert have skills above and beyond those of an everyday person?
Also, how about “sound engineering”? Is that a reasonable name? Does it make sense that someone would put “sound engineer” on their resume? If most people can hear, why (and when) does it make sense to call out sound engineers?

Y’all are acting like he or Wired picked the name of the job title. Prompt engineering is just what it’s called. And engineer as a word has always had multiple meanings, not just to do with science. Engineers design things, and there are multiple kinds of engineers. That’d be like saying that people with a PHD shouldn’t be able to call themselves “doctor” because they didn’t study medicine. At the end of the day, they’re titles and the only thing that matters is what they are an engineer or a doctor of.
@John-tr5hn
August 7, 2024 at 4:09 am
You have to follow “As an astrophysicist,” with “I,” otherwise it’s grammatically incorrect. The sentence “As an astrophysicist, tell me about quantum mechanics” grammatically means that the person you’re asking (the assumed “you” in the command form “tell me”) is an astrophysicist, not you. When you begin a sentence with “As ____,” the blank modifies the next person or entity mentioned, not the speaker or writer of the sentence.
You should be better at grammar since you program AI.

I have to disagree with the explanation for the issue with fingers. Really it comes down to the the source material the model was trained on. Hands have complex structures and the fingers are often obscured. As a result, the model hasn’t learned that a human hand has five digits, with principal fingers having three knuckles and a thumb only having two. If you were to take thousands of photos of hands in various positions and then thousands of images of hands holding various objects, you could train an AI agent to create realistic hands.
