Prompt engineering won't be around forever. I think of LLMs as being like early computing systems, where you had to work around the limitations imposed by the CPUs, memory and other hardware. Back then they had to implement workarounds like binary math tricks, etc. It was a pain, but that's what you had to do. Eventually the hardware got better, the amount of low level effort was reduced and programming languages got easier to use. No one needs to write assembly any more.
LLMs are on a similar path. Right now, we have to work with the limitations imposed by the current state of LLM functionality. As the technology matures, we won't need to worry about wording input as much.
