Ask HN: Why Is Prompt Engineering – as a career path – A thing?

1 pointsby flyingskyabout 2 years ago
Its giving web3 vibes, agreed the AI technology is amazing stuff, prompt engineering - or at least the way influencers present it - seems like an attempt to reduce the barrier of entry into the AI scene without any serious value addition. come across videos with titles like 'This Odd ChatGPT Skill Pays 335,000$/year' & 'New Job of the Future: Prompt Engineer'

Prompt engineering feels similar to how to do a google search. As engineers we have learned to efficiently search with google. Similarly I feel we will soon learn how to write good prompts. Hence, it wont be a job, but most jobs might require the skill to do a good job.
