> Already, chatGPT and bing can both give great on-topic answers to 3 word queries. and the fact that you can infinitely refine it is great You’re completely ignoring the system prompts that OpenAI/Bing have already set up so your “3 word query” works as you intend.

these prompts by definition do not need engineering because they work for all cases all the time. and they can only get better over time
