“New York Life all said they’ve never hired prompt engineers, but instead found that—to the extent better prompting skills are needed—it was an expertise that all existing employees could be trained on.”
Are you telling me that the jobs invented to support a bullshit technology that lies are themselves ALSO bullshit lies?
screw NewYorkLife, but LLM’s are definitely not bullshit technology. Some amount of skill in so-called ‘prompt-engineering’ makes a huge difference in using LLMs as the tool that they are. I think the big mistake people are making is using it like a search engine. I use it all the time (in a scientific field) but never in a capacity where it can ‘lie’ to me. It’s a very effective ‘assistant’ in both [simple] coding tasks and data analysis/management.

How could this happen??
