Prompt Engineering: A Job of the Future or a Current Reality?
It is difficult to predict the future
Prompt engineering is the process of designing and crafting prompts for language models, such as chatbots or text generators.
A prompt is a starting text or question that the language model is given to generate a response or continue the text.
The goal of prompt engineering is to craft prompts that lead to high-quality and coherent outputs from the language model.
For example, a prompt for a language model might be a question like “What is the capital of France?”
or a starting text such as
“The sun was setting over the city as I walked down the street.”
The quality of the output generated by the language model will depend on the quality of the prompt and how well it guides the model toward the desired outcome.
Prompt engineering is an important aspect of working with language models because it can have a significant impact on the quality and coherence of the output.
