Is Prompt Engineering Really Engineering?
The current understanding of prompt engineering is that it's all about using natural language to describe a task, sharing some examples and pushing a button. A child with no formal engineering training could do this - so why are we calling it engineering? I think part of the problem is that there are very few labels that fit this example-based programming paradigm. At the same time, it's very straightforward but could get more complicated as you commercialize,. So we call it engineering?
