The Importance of Prompt Engineering

You can't use the same chat over and over and over again for this task. You have to make a new, you basically have to create the perfect prompt for it to make this ICS file every time. Now is it obviously takes money and power and compute resources to work? Is this something actually that right now I'm paying the $20 a month plan?

Speaker 1
So I think it's like 3000 to 3500
Speaker 4
words and it starts dropping off the end of the conversation and like losing its, its track. And this is why
Speaker 3
prompt engineering is so important right now because we have to put everything we want it to do in the prompt at the beginning and we need to start new prompts, you know, before like David, you can't use the same chat over and over and over again for this task. You have to make a new, you basically have to create the perfect prompt for it to make this ICS file and just do a new chat every time. Yeah, because I kind of
Speaker 2
have different chats based on different buckets of the actions or the results I want in those chats, but they kind of do a stale. Now is it obviously takes money and power and compute resources to work. Now is this something actually that right now I'm paying the $20 a month plan? Is this something that it's just like, oh, one day people have bigger plans where it can remember for a longer amount? Is this a money resource thing or is it just like a technology?

Speaker 1
technically could have the larger token library to send through it, but chat GPC has it limited to this 4,000 or
Speaker 3
504,000.
