Related question: We are approaching one year since news articles began appearing on "prompt engineer" as a job title. How viable has "prompt engineering" been as a job description? I am not asking about the breathless articles discussing $300-400K compensation, per se, but on whether it seems like a viable career path going forward.
- soultrees 3y agoFrom what I’ve seen there is definitely value in knowing how to get what to you want from these machines and especially how to not get what you don’t want, and every company using AI will need someone in charge of all the prompts the company uses, especially as they get more granular and quantitative, keeping a backlog of previous prompts used to write any internal or external comments, and being the main chopping head on the block for when it’s used in a way that gets the company sued etc. But the old way of prompt engineering has now evolved into a more scientific, testing multiple times in multiple models so I’d say the job is here to stay.
