- LegitShady 4y agoso you're taking classification advice from joseph stalin? Maybe reconsider whether thats applicable to the situation or not.

- LegitShady 4y agono it means prompt engineering is not engineering, thats just a euphemism used by those people to pretend to be doing something prestigious. They're doing engineering same way subway's sandwich assemblers do sandwich engineering - which is to say they aren't.

FWIW, Bon Appetit may not be clear on sandwich engineering, but it is clear on sandwich architecture: https://www.bonappetit.com/columns/the-foodist/article/sandwich-architecture https://www.bonappetit.com/columns/the-foodist/article/sandw... I can certainly remember chefs in my city who met that standard.
