What is this thing called Prompt Engineering

 If you've been paying attention to what's going on in AI, you've probably heard the term "Prompt Engineer" but what does that really mean? As someone that has an actual engineering degree (B.S. in Electrical Engineering) I was curious about how casually the term Prompt Engineer was being thrown around, considering how much work it took me to obtain my engineering degree.  Prompt engineering is the art of crafting precise and strategic instructions, or prompts, to guide AI models in generating desired outputs. It is akin to providing a blueprint for AI systems, allowing us to shape their behavior and optimize their performance. By skillfully constructing prompts, we can steer AI models towards generating more accurate, contextually relevant, and coherent responses. Prompt engineering recognizes the immense power of language and its impact on AI models. Just like humans, these models rely on linguistic cues to comprehend and respond. As a prompt engineer, I immerse...
