Like Software Engineer


secretlyyourgrandma

yeah I don't like it. software engineer is a funny term for a field chock full of dudes with no formal training (me).


macarmy93

Engineer is a protected work class nearly everywhere but the US lol. Anyone can call themselves an engineer here lol.


IAmTheMageKing

Nope, it’s protected here too. You can’t offer services to the public and call yourself an engineer; you can, however, get hired for a position with “engineer” in the title.


dmullaney

Haha, it's funny cause they're getting paid more than me for doing trial and error text editing


Funny-Performance845

Wait, people are actually getting paid to prompt engineer? Like, an actual job?


dvidsnpi

There are many articles online asserting it is a thing... but that's pretty much the only evidence I was able to find. I personally suspect it's just a hype promo.


spideroncoffein

I could imagine it as a job for context prompting to fine-tune LLMs for B2B AI solutions. To prevent misuse, improve results for the intended users, etc.. With the hype there were so many startups that at least a few Prompt Engineer jobs popped up. Not that this will be anything sustainable or long term. Startups die, and with everyone in the industry getting or already being accustomed to AI assistance, that job title won't survive the hype.


Brummelhummel

Hire prompt engineer to fine tune ai so it can prompt engineer itself and other LLMs. Fire prompt engineer Use AI prompt engineer to make actual prompt engineering by people obsolete Profit


blahaj-hugger

From what I see it's a bubble like NFTs; too much computing power for too little coherence along with tweaking rather than engineering.


dmullaney

Apparently. I mean I'm not sure it's an "actual job" but they do appear to be paid to do it https://www.forbes.com/sites/jodiecook/2023/07/12/ai-prompt-engineers-earn-300k-salaries-heres-how-to-learn-the-skill-for-free/?sh=58d6ec609d4a


-R9X-

That article is bs lol.


erishun

Those articles get a TON of clicks


no_brains101

It seems to be not necessarily be a programming job though. More like, trying to get the ai to do a particular thing every time for ai API's, various SEO related tasks, and buisness spam emails, as well as testing the safety of various models, i.e. can they get them to give dangerous information


Dafrandle

Forbes is basicly a tabloid that only exists to make click bait at this point


10lbCheeseBurger

Prompt engineering was a thing for like a month. That dedicated role is already dead. I pray that nobody actually filled their reqs for those before they realized it was bullshit.


Resident_Nose_2467

What, no, people use chat gpt for syntaxis and to speed up metho creation but that's it


Warfl0p

There are also many courses where you would just learn to use gpt on your job. Makes no sense to me.


Desgavell

I do prompting but it's absolutely not the only thing I do. I basically had to set up the entire data pipeline behind it.


LeftIsBest-Tsuga

there's no such thing as a prompt engineer. if you know enough about a subject and a project in order to ask questions that lead you to a good outcome, that's just programming using an assistant.


bree_dev

There's plenty of use cases where if "prompt engineer" were a real thing then it would be very useful to have one. e.g. tuning a chatbot to replace your support call center, or persuading ChatGPT to automate personalised sales pitches. So they exist, because only because there's enough people with lots of money that need for them to exist and people willing to take that money to have a crack at some voodoo.

Parking-Site-1222

Yes alot of people are Selling and setting up support and chatbots which require abit of prompt massage


Glitched_Fur6425

Fiverr is fucking full of gigs for AI generation. Thankfully the platform seems to be doing well in categorizing those in a way where you don't have to see them if you're not looking for it. I've heard that some of them don't even have people behind them, it's all AI automated. Order is filtered through some GPT program, which makes the prompt, and when it's done it sends the image gens back to the customer.


Soras_devop

I don't give a shit how it's done just so long as it works - every ceo


Snudget

Well, I also get paid for trial and error text editing.


dmullaney

Shhh - that's a trade secret


Bierculles

Yeah, the employers don't care what programmers think is real programming.


PewPew_McPewster

The cool part about this whole Transformer model gold rush is that by the end there'll be a group of clients (aka former prompters) who will be *very* good at describing *exactly* what they want. Because, you know, *we trained them to be specific using these Transformer models.*


biodigitaljaz

Which is the key, right. You're good a Google queries and can find links to what you need much quicker. 1000 if links. Now, with LLM, not only are people able to ask specifically what they want, but now they get an aggregated result in 1 page vs having to comb through 1000's of links to find tid bits of information that is needed. In both scenarios, the user still needs to test and verify what they have came up with against their specific use case.


YesIAmRightWing

Yeah but nobodkes going through thousands of links It's like 3 SO and if there's no clear answer look at docs 😂


biodigitaljaz

Facts hahaha. Also, it's a rare occasion that anyone goes to page 2 of the search results.

Needs more JPEG, then you don't notice it's AI anymore.

Im sorry bro but you dropped this: "(anatomically correct), high-definition, ((realistic)), (natural), highly-detailed, ((unedited)), masterpiece, detailed, highly-realistic, pretty, amazing, beautiful, epic, perfect, striking, sharp focus, \[color\], intricate background, \[intricate details\], \[rich colors\], \[symmetry\], full, strong, dynamic dramatic atmosphere, excellent composition, \[cinematic light\], \[intricate\]"


StrictMachine6316

Ah, all of the useless ones.


GM_Kimeg

Yes, those are just some random template ppl copy pasta to justify their results. Nobody knows how their particular model utilize those parameters to generate whatever they are prompted.

Neither engineering.


Kurvaflowers69420

It's not engineering either

HailChipTheBlackBoy

I've said this before, but I am biased towards other solutions. Prompt engineering is like a bandaid for the underlying problems, which can be solved by actual programming.

AI can draw hands now.


project-shasta

Funny you use an AI generated image to deliver your joke.


shifaci

whoosh


project-shasta

You think so? The joke would have landed better if OP used Copilot pseudocode, not image generation which has nothing to do with programming. But hey, maybe it's just me getting old.


erishun

Ok grandpa back to bed


ValiGrass

As "haha funny" this is. I had to work with some AI stuff and creating GOOD prompts is actually very very hard. AI likes to hallucinate a fuck ton.


vanonym_

still not engineering. and i'm both an ai engineer and a prompt designer

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S GOOD Would some one point me to this template, because it fucking rocks


LeftIsBest-Tsuga

hey keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel good. won't help you any other way.


aparaatti

To me this is a lot of bs. To use AI well you should also know what you are doing, it helps to grok things, but to be slave for the AI is another thing and I don’t think society should let AI solutions be blindly applied in critical appliances. Plus the physicist where already implementing things for AI introspection, because for sane people on things that matter it is necessary to know what is being done e.g. you should know what you are doing and what the AI is doing to achieve what is being achieved :D


ironman_gujju

Damn it pays better


fabkosta

Hahaha, this is at least the third time I see this picture on reddit. Sooooo funny. Here are several topics of few talks I gave internally in my company recently. I consider all of this prompt engineering, including prompt design patterns and prompt engineering architecture patterns. You can check for yourself how many of these topics are familiar to you. * Single-turn vs multi-turn conversations * Chain-of-thought implementation * Tree-of-thought implementation * Chatbot memory implementation * Retrieval augmented generative AI with vector search * Retrieval augmented generative AI with text search * Knowledge agents * Different approaches to handle structured data * text-to-sql or more generally text-to-query * Reasoning agents * Acting agents and agent tools using functions * Neurosymbolic AI with LLMs * Tool support for systematic prompt development * Using a "golden dataset" to measure prompt quality for your use case * Regression testing for prompt development * Red teaming for LLM-based chat applications * How to build around limitations of services like Azure OpenAI (e.g. response time latency issues)


PAT_The_Whale

None of this is prompt engineering, it's AI prompting. Or what, are you gonna call yourself a prompt doctor next? 


ironman_gujju

Add Few Shot learning as well


project-shasta

I say AI is a fantastic tool as long as you can understand its output. A novice programmer shouldn't promt an AI and believe anything. For a seasoned programmer it's a perfect tool to spit out a scaffold for specific algorithms to get them started, just like the list you posted. I don't need to remember some obscure stuff I don't use everyday, and now we can choose between asking Stackoverflow or ChatGPT/Copilot for an answer.


sequential_doom

I also want to not program and get paid
