That'll stop being the case in GPT-N. Prompt engineering might be a thing for a short time only.

- muzani 4y agoI expect it to be like black hat SEO. It could well be a decade. And the result might end up being some heavily neutered output, that's does the job, but is not very interesting.
- sebzim4500 4y agoI imagine that the benefits of well written prompts will decrease over time but they will probably still exist. There is still a knack to getting useful information out of google/bing/etc., even if it is much easier than it was decades ago.
- samatman 4y agoI think this basically misunderstands what the mulchers actually are. The prompt is the only thing there is, it's all they will ever understand. Therefore, engineering prompts is the only way to get behavior out of them. That won't change unless the architecture changes, in which case, it isn't GPT-N.
- NBJack 4y agoGiven we are effectively modeling humans, and there is often plenty of room for misinterpretation in human natural language, we will see. There are good reasons things that 'must not fail' (i.e. civil engineering, accepted medical practice, etc.) are meant to go through rigorous formal review to get it both right and agreed on.
