Nah. There's no such thing as prompt engineering. It doesn't exist. Engineering involves applying scientific principles to solve real world problems. There are no clear scientific principles to apply here. It's all instinct, hunches, educated guesses, and heuristics with maybe some sort of feedback loop. And that's fine, it can still produce useful results. Just don't call it engineering. Maybe artisanal prompt crafting? Or prompt alchemy?
