🤔 Prompt engineering involves communicating clearly with models to achieve desired outcomes. It requires understanding the model's psychology and iterating on prompts.
📝 A good prompt engineer should have:
🔍 Effective prompting involves:
🔮 As models improve, the need for precise prompting may decrease, but the skill of articulating tasks clearly will remain essential. Future interactions may involve models assisting users in formulating prompts.
💡 The essence of effective prompting lies in externalizing your thoughts clearly and accurately, making it accessible for the model to understand and execute tasks.
