Is prompt engineering really a job that will emerge with A.I? (lemmy.world)

On the discussion of job replacement due to A.I, the term "prompt engineer" pops up frequently when mentioning new jobs that will arise due to it.

Isn't prompt engineering just typing questions? How is it difficult enough for it to be a desired job in the market?

No. This was already kind of a thing with search, it used to be more of a skill to use a search engine and refine your query and use the right operators to narrow things down. Now, it's still a bit of a skill, but it's a lot easier because for the most part natural language or a few keywords are enough.

My guess is the same thing will happen with these language models, it's already pretty easy and it will just get easier as high quality output will become less sensitive to the exact prompting you use.
