Deep dives

The Nature of Prompt Engineering

Prompt engineering is viewed not as a scientific process but as an experimental approach where one tests different strategies to obtain desired outcomes. The speaker argues the importance of focusing on having a robust data set and a framework for iteration, rather than getting caught up in academic papers about prompting. When faced with challenging prompts, particularly those related to systems like ChatGPT, the speaker finds them inadequately designed for solving specific problems. Ultimately, they suggest that the ability to map inputs to outputs is more crucial than understanding the underlying mechanics of the language model.
