I can relate to this a bit.
Prompt engineering feels a lot like SEO. Learning by trial and error, no factual knowledge to go by.
I fear the future will be mostly about poking the big black AI box until its output seems to work as expected. It sounds nothing like what I enjoy about programming.
- verdverm 3y ago> Learning by trial and error, no factual knowledge to go by To me, it seems more like learning how to clearly and thoroughly communicate with the LLM, much like we have to do with other humans. There are basics we already know and guides are out there. The details are different for how we communicate with each other, but by and large, the process is similar. I mean, how many books are out there on how to be a better speaker, writer, communicator, relationships... the list could get quite long.
