I hate to be a purist here, but structing your sentences into coherent chunks is basic communication, and giving it fancy names like "prompt engineering" is doing a disservice to the term "engineering" which is already a concept stretched pretty thin. LLMs are random and unpredictable, the opposite of what real engineering is. We better start using terms like "invocations", "incantations", "spells" or "rain dance"/"rituals" to describe how to effectively "talk" to LLMs, because a science it most definitely isn't. And yeah, taking the five seconds extra to do the bare minimum in structuring your communication will yield better results in literally any effort. Don't see why this concept deserves an article. PS I am also extremely triggered from the idea of comparing Big-O, a scientific term and exact concept with well understood and predictable outcomes, with "prompt engineering" which is basically "my random thoughts and anecdotal biases of how to communicate better with one of the many similar but different fancy autocompletes with randomness built in".
