> knowing how the models behave, simply providing more/better context and instructions can fill this gap No. --- start quote --- prompt engineering is nothing but an attempt to reverse-engineer a non-deterministic black box for which any of the parameters below are unknown: - training set - weights - constraints on the model - layers between you and the model that transform both your input and the model's output that can change at any time - availability of compute for your specific query - and definitely some more details I haven't thought of https://dmitriid.com/prompting-llms-is-not-engineering https://dmitriid.com/prompting-llms-is-not-engineering --- end quote ---
