In all the hype surrounding generative AI, there’s a gritty, yet often overlooked hero: the prompt engineer. They are the puppet masters behind the curtain, pulling the strings, making AI not just functional, but exceptional.
But what if the budding field of prompt engineering can be replaced by AI itself? We already see some attempts in the automated creation of GPTs, and a recent paper called “Prompt Engineering A Prompt Engineer” explored exactly that question.
Could the art of prompt engineering be handed over to the AI itself?
Let’s explore.
The Rising Importance of Prompt Engineering
Since the release of ChatGPT in November 2022, we’ve been riding not just a wave but a full-blown AI tsunami. The release of ChatGPT brought the progression of AI into public consciousness, but the capabilities didn’t start there — nor do they end there. With GPT-4V, we know have multi-modal AI that’s not just about words anymore.
It’s abililty to work with different types of data, including images, and merging these capabilities is jaw-dropping for those who encounter it for the first time. It’s like we’ve gone from a clever little party trick to something that comes close to human-like…
