10 sats \ 3 replies \ @ek 2 Jan \ parent \ on: LLMs and Programming in the first days of 2024 tech
The best ChatGPT prompt engineers (sic) are the ones who know how to talk very clearly and precisely to a human. If you know how to do that, ChatGPT will give you the best answers.
Very much yes to this. AI will create new jobs (prompt engineers for example) and make other jobs obsolete. You need to a) adapt to technology or b) be old enough that people don't mind that you don't adapt or c) become obsolete.
As has always been the case with (disruptive) technologies afaik.
Btw, I think there is a typo in what I quoted:
who know how to talk very clearly and precisely to a human GPT/LLM.
still getting confused when to say GPT and when to say LLM.

Actually, i did mean to write human. Don't remember where I read it, but one of the LLM developers said that the best prompt engineers are the ones that can communicate very effectively with humans. If you know how to clearly talk to a fellow researcher, with attention to detail, in a structured manner, you'll be very good at talking to that machine too. The other way around, learning how to make good prompts to talk to an LLM will make you better at communicating with people.

Ohh, interesting! Obviously, I didn't know that since I thought it was just a typo, lol

I wasn't very clear then... I won't be hired as an expert prompt engineer now ;)
