Humans are "intelligent," yet we often have to re-explain ourselves when asked semi-complex questions.

  You wouldn't say you're "prompt engineering" when communicating with your spouse or boss.

    But you would say you used "social engineering" to manipulate an organization: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_engineering_(security) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_engineering_(security)

    That's largely a difference of terminology. Prompt engineering is just a more technical, all-encompassing term covering colloquial language like "can you rephrase the question" or "I'm not understanding, can you explain that in a different way?" I interpreted the original comment to mean "I won't consider ChatGPT an artificial intelligence until we don't need to prompt engineer." If that was the intended meaning, I just wanted to highlight that we do "prompt engineer" humans while also considering them "intelligent."
