how is "Engineering" "about chanting magic words"? The wires may be getting crossed on if it's an engineering discipline or just the use of the word engineer, meaning to build mindfully, I feel the latter is appropriate and the former more misguided but still it's not "Prompt Wizarding" ;)
- famouswaffles 3y agoFair Enough. Just that discussion around the term feels like that sometimes especially with image generation.
- Guthur 3y agoWell you're building nothing, your poking at a black box and hoping it spits out something close to what you want.
- pietro72ohboy 3y agoPrecisely! You’re trying to learn the art of poking the box in the right way. As an engineer, I really despise the bastardisation of the term to refer to jobs or tasks that are inherently non-scientific.
- elforce002 3y agoI agree with you a 100%
- haskellandchill 3y agoIt can be done scientifically, there are many techniques in the literature that put the engineering into Prompt Engineering.
