Prompt engineering is not dead. It was never alive in the first place.
The better these models become, the less we’ll need to resort to phrasing tricks or weird instructions.
The endgame is models that understand the way we communicate.
“Prompt engineering” will simply become “communication skills”.
Santiago (@svpino): Remember when people thought “prompt engineering” was going to be a profitable career?
