A new occupation on the block is called a “prompt engineer.” And it is absurd. It is like calling someone “pandas engineer” or “GitHub engineer.” It’s not anything new but will be converted into a role an ML engineer does. But enough of this digression; what “prompt engineering” essentially means is giving detailed instructions to the model in plain English and not leaving any ambiguity. And you don’t need a SWE or MLE to do that. Nor does that mean that it is a skill that warrants its personal job opening.

In this series of several posts about GPT, I intend to accumulate all the knowledge I have acquired over the months and arrange it logically into readable chunks for my readers. In my last post, I discussed the various advancements in the NLP space that made ChatGPT possible and talked specifically about how chatGPT Works. In the second post, we reviewed the ChatGPT API and how to use the different ChatGPT endpoints. In this post, we will delve deeper into Prompt Engineering, where I will take you through the different tactics you can use to create usable prompts. And I will keep on adding new posts over here. So follow me up here on Medium to be notified about these.
